    And from the proton’s perspective, it is created and arrives at its ultimate destination instantly.

      Thinking about a photon’s perspective is nonsensical. You are asking for a frame of reference where the photon is at rest but the very definition of a frame of reference in relativity is one where photon’s are travelling at the speed of light. Therefore there cannot be a frame of refernece where a photon is at rest and so a photon can never have a perspective, and neither can anything travelling at the speed of light.

      One has to imagine whether their life is satisfying provided it contains no journey whatsoever. Only destination.
