First off, let me disclaim myself as a lowly h7b student, i.e. electromag- netics.Any response please tone down too pregraduate level, please... If time dialates and lenghts contract in the reference frame approaching the speed of light, then what about in the reference frame _of_ _light_? Is light everywhere at once as lengths contract to zero in the limit and time dialates until it stops? Would be hard to think the lorentz equations break down. Is there a way to distinguish between reference frames if light is everywhere in its own frame? ... I must be missing something, right? I'm sure this has been rehashed innumerable times... once more couldn't hurt, no?
