   Which rules?!  Here is (once again) the Lorentz transformation:   
      
           (t - v*x/c^2)   
   t' = -----------------   
         sqrt(1 - v^2/c^2)   
      
   Since photons (at least in a vacuum) travel at 'c', the denominator in   
   the above equation is 0, which means that t' must be infinite.  Since t   
   is finite, this means that the photon does not experience the passage of   
   time, since one second in our frame of reference would take an infinite   
   amount of time in a photon's frame of reference.   
      
   But, once again, what "rules" are being violated here??
