After finding no answer in your archives, I ask again: If a photon experiences NO time passage ( T=0 ), does that mean that its "uncertainty in time" is 0 according to Heisenberg's Uncertainty Relation involving time & energy ? IF that is the case, then its uncertainty in energy would be infinite,which seems implausible. Could you clarify? Thank you.
