Do photons experience time?

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I was just thinking about how electric field and magnetic field vectors oscillate in a Photon. but then I remember that a photon doesn't experience any time so how can these vectors oscillate if the time experienced by the photon is zero. According to Lorentz transformation formula, particles which are moving at the speed of light (in our case Photon) will experience infinite time dilation which basically means that time experienced by them is zero so if that happens to be the case then why the electric and magnetic vectors oscillate. If time experienced by the photon is zero then they should be anything happen at all but still the oscillations are happening? photons time-dilation share | cite | improve this question asked 3 hours ago user210956 11 2 New contributor user210956 is a new contributor to this site.
