@timothy, yea, precisely, light doesn't move along the time axis at all as it cannot experience time due to it's speed, so for, it is instantaneously starting and reaching it's destination

I am curious as the passage of time is determined by cultural notions of time. Can some cultures better perceive time?

yes. if v=c, we can say that the light particle isnt moving at all with respective to the moving clock, or its moving parallel to the bottom(or top) of the light clock without rising at all

Look in the light clocks, time ticks via the motion of light and since speed of light is constant therefore when the clock is in motion ,the photon has to cover a greater distance by the perspective of an object at rest . So in the perspective of object in rest time ticks at slow rate but in other clocks such as mechanical clocks .time ticks via the motion of different objects not light. and the speed of the objects are not constant.so from the perspective of an object at rest time ticks at the same rate.
