(January 19, 2015 at 12:53 pm)Rhythm Wrote: 1000 years. Mostly because a lightyear is defined as the distance that light travels in a single year. If it travelled 1000 of those, it would have taken 1000 years
(oversimplification of the situation, of course - might not have taken a straight-line course - the bodies are in motion - etc)
I think you missed the part where I asked how much time passes in the photon's frame of reference?

2nd question, from the photon's "perspective," what is the distance from the Sun to that distant moon (1000 light years away as measured from Earth's perspective)?
