It's pretty confusing but essentially, as you travel faster, your clock slows down arbitrarily. In the most extreme case, at the speed of light, your clock stops. For a photon, it emerges and appears at its final location instantly, even if those distances are millions of lightyears apart. So if you travel to Centauri from Earth, the fastest you get can get there is 5 years as seen from Earth but to the actual spaceship, it could perceive any arbitrarily small change in time. |
