Riding on a photon.
In real time from the sun's surface to just past Jupiter.

I call fake.
There's no way you could attach a camera to a photon. There's nothing to attach it to, is there?

you're getting yours in the wrong place.
I source mine from CERN. They've got lugs for mounting mudguards or panniers and attachments for your Garmin and a camera. Normally I'd fit mine faing forward, mind.
Don't tell anyone though, I'm not sure if the trade in slightly used bosons is entirely kosher with the funding bodies.

That makes sense.
I guess they have to have a place to mount a camera on their subatomic particles, or they wouldn't be able to see what happens when they smash them into each other.

That's 15x faster than real time. Didn't the clock on the screen give it away?
Here's the normal one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AAU_btBN7s

Doesn't time dilation mean that,
from the point of view of the photon, no time at all passes? From our perspective, it may take minutes, years, or millions of years for a photon to get from A to B; but to anything travelling at the speed of light, time dilates and space contracts, such that all travel is instantaneous. That's why faster-than-light travel would imply going backwards in time.
I think.
I'm not sure. This stuff hurts my head.
And god only knows when, as in this vid, you're looking in the rear-view mirror.
