So as I've learned from AskScience, when you shoot a beam of light towards an object, lets say a wall, it travels from the flashlight to the wall at the speed of light from the perspective of a stationary observer. But apparently, from the perspective of the photon, time is dilated so much that it gets there basically instantly.
So I'm wondering what happens to this photon when its shot into outer space with nothing to block its path. Do we lose this energy forever? Or its nothing extra ordinary and the photon just happily travels forever ?
