So if you fly away for 25 years at the speed of light and come back. you only age 25 years but the world aged 500.

The numbers are off, but itis something like that.

the photon, regular ones, are emitted when electrons jump down levels. I dont think the ending point is meaningful at this time. For now any, that seems to be the case.

Uh, no. If you travel closer to speed of light, time slows down. If you travel at speed of light, time stops. Speed of light is an asymtote that can't ever truely be reached by a classical object.

Also, it is perhaps more accurate to say when a electron field and photon field interacts in the right way, an electron appears to change energy state and a photon appears to be created and speeds away at speed of light.
