I think it is a hoot that we can comment on stuff like this and have you answer back. LOL. One question, if photons have a rest mass of zero but the observer is moving, what does that do to time as we know it?

Utterly fascinating! I will never look on a night sky the same way again, Naut.

Naut
If I am able to come to a decisive conclusion that you are totally correct in all of this I will still have two unanswered questions. 1) Why do I need to know (This)? 2) What would I know if I gain the knowledge of (This)?

Yes Naut, your correction to my suggestion is accurate. However,..
the rest of my comment there still holds.

i am thinking that it is TIME that George and Agatha got themselves

My cousin Thomas R was knighted by Chile, if he was still alive I could go down there and see what you suggest. Alas, Thomas died in the past year, a year younger than I, from too much thinking about very serious subjects I didn't ever understand ,as does another friend of mine.

I wish you could find things out a bit sooner NAUT I think you are a bit too intellectual for me to propose an answer although I do try and assimilate your 
views.

I am learning a lot about how time works in physics and how light and photos fit into it.

In other words it is a conundrum inside a paradox. ;)
