But here's where you muddied the waters. I didn't presuppose that we are talking about a completely empty universe, for all intents and purposes. You didn't specify that. If that's the case, and there are just these two photons in this emply world then how come the observer? Where does he come in? Is it truly a void if there's someone to observe it? How do you observe this information without light? Wouldn't light pass through this void, therefore "contaminating" it and possibly changing the stationary pose of the two photons?
Do not get ahead of yourself. I am trying to wrap your mind around this whole time thing.
Now. You are in this void with the two photons. Of course the distance between you and the photons is increasing at the speed of light, but is it the photons that are moving or are you moving or are you and the photons moving?
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
