> My intuition about the travel of photons is that, because of length contraction, there’s no distance to travel, so they don’t actually travel through a vacuum at all, and of course that’s why they don’t need a medium, and it takes no time at all—from the photon’s perspective, anyway.
How is there length contraction in this experiment?
There isn’t, at least not as far as I understand. (Physics is just a hobby interest for me.) I was referring to GP’s comment about an intuition for how electromagnetic waves travel through vacuum.
