Why is this the result of being imaginary (Vt =3D jV)? > Just my addition. In an one-dimensional space there is no possible perpendicular direction. When you transition from the line of the real numbers to the complex plane you move to a two-dimensional space where perpendicular directions are possible. 3.

Regardless of the above, what say thee re the prior 'assertion' re > photons all huddling together unmoving until the end of all things? > That makes sense although we cannot comprehend it. Perhaps anything moving at light speed carries its own bubble of space-time and live their lives normally, although we, in our efemeral universe, do not perceive any time passing for them in the duration of this universe. Several Larry Niven's and Robert L. Forward's stories touch this subject.
