According to special relativity, the photon doesn't experience time and space (A and B are next to each other).
Then, how come it travels and even takes a long time to reach distant destinations in the universe?

Because time and space are relative moron
can photons bounce off eachother?
From its own perspective, the destination is like right next to the origin.
>>9033510
It's not just that A and B are next to each other. The present of A and the future of B are next to each other.

huh?

>can photons bounce off eachother
yes, the effect is small tho

it doesn't scientificaly, but it does sound convincing enough philosophically at the moment to warrant belief from those disgruntled with biblical truth and the accompanying dogmas.
fact is thereare no transitional fossils.
and not to mention darwin also conceded that the evolution of eye escapes evolutionary sense for him personally.
as a half evolved eye would be an impediment and would never gradually get better
further no species has actually evolved into another in expirement..

The spacetime interval for the photon and the observer are the same. The photon would agree with the observer about the origin and destination. They only disagree on the distance and duration.
A photon travelling toward something a billion lightyears away arrives instantaneously at that location as it will be a billion years in the future compared to the origin. And 2 billion years compared to how the destination looks to the origin, because you only see billion years old light when you start.

For the photon, it doesn't take any time to reach destinations. It is only to us that we do experiment time and space.

When the photon travels for one year and sees that planets and shit has moved a lot since it started it must know it took time

The "destination" for the photon is a place and a time. It is instantaneously at that time and place. The photon doesn't experience any duration. It essentially travels into the future, as any fast-moving object would. Except it doesn't ever slow down to observe the changes.

I don't get it but I´ll take your word for it

That's not very scientific.
