what does "experience space-time" mean?
Space and time contract as you approach the speed of light.
Bosonic matter moves at the speed of light, and at that speed space and time are contracted to nothing. To a photon, the universe doesn't exist. Its source and destination are the same point and it takes no time to get from one to the other. Entirely counterintuitive to our understanding of the universe, but that's how photons do.
