Hi,

The Lorentz equations only apply to things with mass travelling at less than the speed of light. If you plug in V=c, then the equation is undefined for this value which means it does not give any usefull values.

Basically photons experience no time, maybe thats why they never decay into other particles, but are only absorbed and re-emitted. They dont experience any duration so have no time to decay?
