How does an object flying at the speed of light "see" the world?

As you know, the speed of light is, though large, but still a finite value. There are completely material objects (for example, photons - the particles that make up light) that move at the speed of light. How does the world “look” through the “eyes” of such fast objects?

In the discussion of this issue, the most important place is occupied by the Special Theory of Relativity (SRT). According to the conclusions of this theory (which at the moment are well confirmed by experimental facts), when an object moves at the speed of light, an arbitrarily long period of time for this object becomes equal to zero.

It is important to note that any period of time, even billions of years, for an object accelerated to the speed of light, turns exactly to zero, and not in an infinitely small period of time. And what does it mean if the time interval has turned to zero?

This means that no action is possible, including observation, vision, sight, and so on. Thus, an object flying at the speed of light will not see anything. And in general, this object is actually not even aware of the fact of its existence, and the existence of the world around it, because this also takes time. Although relative to the Earth, for example, this object will exist, and it is possible for a very decent period of time to travel at the speed of light.

Photons are such objects that from the moment of their emission to the very absorption they fly only at the speed of light, i.e. they do not waste time on acceleration and deceleration, so their whole life for them lasts zero time. Thus, the world through the “eyes” of a photon is as follows: the coinciding moments of birth and death of a photon do not give him the opportunity to "understand" that the world exists at all.

Let's note one subtlety: the picky reader might have noticed that so far we have bypassed the question of with respect to what the object must move at the speed of light in order for all this to become true. But this question really does not matter, since according to the basic postulates of SRT, if an object has already accelerated to the speed of light relative to at least one frame of reference or a body, then its speed in all frames of reference becomes equal to the speed of light.
