Yep, they experience no time or space as they move at light speed :)

Of course they experience nothing anyway because they aren't alive, but for even more existential dread, realize that most photons aren't observed by even cows.

The others are observed by odd cows

Common misconception. They have to be prime cows.

There are only about half a dozen stars twenty light years from here, and not all of them are visible to the naked eye. I wonder if the artist had one in mind.

It's more likely that the speed runner just had an old/loose/dusty console or cartridge, by his own admission.
