special relativity - Does the Lorentz transformation not apply to light?


Since you would know that light always travels at the constant velocity with respect to all frame of reference, according to relativity, whenever we are traveling at the speed of light, our time with respect to a relative rest observer would become stopped. It means that light travels with respect to all frame of reference at the light-speed, so it implies that the light from the Sun would never reach us--but sadly it would reach us within 8 minutes. How is that possible?

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
