Photons do not travel through time.
This is due to the fact that the faster you travel through space, the slower you travel through time. In other words, if an object is standing still, it is traveling at the speed of light through time, and since a photon travels at the speed of light through space, it is not traveling through time.

Asker here, I hope no one minds me editing in to expand on the question/answer given.
Surely the answer must be more complex. If a photon does not travel through time, then that could potentially violate/invalidate causality.

How do photons travel outward from a light bulb?
Photons travel outward from a light bulb in all directions.
What is the same for all photon traveling through a vacuum?
Speed. All photons traveling through a vacuum travel at the speed of light.
What happens to photons if you just click a flashlight on and off once do photons decay or travel indefinitely?
If they have room to travel (e.g., you shine the flashlight towards the sky), they can travel on indefinitely.
Can lightning effect time travel?
Lightning is the most powerful source of energy in the world. Therefore it could very easily overload a flying delorean by supercharging the flux capacitor with 1.21 Gigawatts thus sending it backwards or forwards in time.
When light photons are considered to be particles what kind of path do they usually travel?
As particles photons travel in a straight line unless they are diverted by reflection, refraction, or a magnetic or gravitational field. Note that when it comes to gravity it can also be represented that the light continues in a straight line - but the space it travels through is curved so its path appears curved to the outside observer.
What does a throttle cable do?
It engages the accelerator in an engine to give you momentum to move forwards or backwards depending on which direction you wish to travel.
Do photons travel in a straight line?
Yes, they do. But they sometimes travel a straight line through bent space.
Do ultraviolet photons travel at with a greather speed than yellow photons?
No. All photons travel at the speed of light.
How do photons travel from a light bulb?
Photons travel outward from a light bulb in all directions.
Photons travel outward from a light source in?
the photons travel outward from a light source in all directions.
How do photons travel outward from a light bulb?
Photons travel outward from a light bulb in all directions.
Photons travel outward from a light bulb in?
Photons travel outward from a light bulb in all directions
How do UV rays travel through space?
UV rays are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes light, radio, x-ray, infrared, and other "waves". All of these travel through space as photons. Photons behave both as particles and as waves. Their particle nature lets them travel through space, where there is nothing to conduct them, as a wave would normally need.
Photons in sun travel is a straight path on the way?
Photons do travel in a straight path. To a person observing the photons though they will appear to be curved because of the gravitational field.
What is the same for all photon traveling through a vacuum?
Speed. All photons traveling through a vacuum travel at the speed of light.
Which travels fastest through a medium a photon atom sound or electron?
Light (photons) will usually travel fastest.
How fast can panda bears travel?
This book that I have tells me that a Panda can run forwards about 6kph. B8t when forced to move backwards they can run 80 kph. (I question how true this is, but this book I have says it. O_O)
