Electromagnetic waves have electric (and magnetic) fields that oscillate spatially and with time. But light, moving at the universal speed limit, is a "space-like" object according to relativity since it does not experience time.
My understanding is light's time dilation is the limit when time would stop for it's frame.
But if light doesn't move through time how does it oscillate in time?
I suspect I am looking at this incorrectly. Perhaps the oscillation in our time frame is easily justified when approached properly?
