Reply to comment by SurprisedPotato in Eli5: how old is a photon from the sun when it arrives to the earth? by Opposite-Shoulder260

Time is slowed down so much that no time passes.
An equal statement is that the length of the path in front of photon is contracted to down to zero length so it isn't really going anywhere.
