Not so. The photon travels at 3x10E8 m/s. It is not instantaneous. The point of reference from the photon is irrelevant.

People keep saying that, but nobody has given anything but a bald assertion. As I said, in any other comparison of reference frames, there is SOME time involved, and you can array events as conveniently along a 1-second timeline as you can along a one trillion year timeline. But in the case of a photon, NO time passes, and so there is no room for any of the events which would represent a causal interaction.
