And even when you state it in its most extreme case you cannot see that it is PURE Sci-Fi
Time does NOT stop just because something is traveling at "c"
Everything is 'Relative', including a single photon traveling at "c".
Even though that single photon has 0 velocity, in its own frame, for every 186,000 miles it travels, 1 second of Time passes.
And this whole thing shows the absolute falicy in defining light in 'its own reference frame' as having 0 velocity, because that winds up defining the whole path of light from its source to its sink as "Instantaneous", which is "Impossible", even in its own frame!
