I'm a newbie to this blog stuff so please bear with me.

I'm all intrigued by the secrets of this universe. From the moons to the super massive black holes. More on it later.

One puzzling question has baffled me.

By Einstein's theory of relativity, time stops when you are travelling at the speed of light. All proved by mathematical formulas, time contraction, okay. The faster you travel, the slower time gets.

The question is:
Say you are riding on a photon at the speed of light. It means you are experiencing no passage of time. You started your journey from the surface of the sun and reached earth, INSTANTANEOUSLY, coz you experience no time. But that's impossible. You travelled a distance instantaneously, you can travel an infinite distance instantaneously. But as we know, nothing can teleport, nothing. From Earths frame of reference, you took 500 seconds, but wrt you, it didn't take any time. This question is wrt your(photon's) frame of reference.
So virtually, you can travel across the universe in no time. HUH? WHAT?
Think about it!!
