I'm not sure if it's exactly the same thing, but I've heard the phrase, "From the perspective of light, everything happens at once".

It's a bit unclear to me how light or a photon could have a perspective, but I guess it's not really relevant? This kind of thing is part of why I haven't taken a deeper dive into physics. The metaphors and allegories always break down if you look at them too hard, you really need to wade into the underlying math to get a real understanding I think.
