Why a photon moves at the speed of light.

In the energy rest frame of a photon at f=1Hz, where:

  • Mass = K/c³
  • Momentum = K/c²

If we use momentum to move this mass, the distance traveled would be:

(Momentum) / (Mass) = (K/c²) / (K/c³) = c

This means in one second, at the fundamental energy rest frame, the photon would travel exactly the speed of light (c).

This is remarkable because it suggests at the most fundamental geometric level, the relationship between momentum and mass naturally resolves to light speed - not as a limit, but as a fundamental geometric property of how spacetime constructs motion and mass.

It's as if c isn't a speed limit, but the natural "resolution" of spacetime's geometric projection of motion and mass.
