Does light have Mass?

@DNA Thumbs drive,

I say that it can't! Prove me wrong if you don't agree! Don't stand there doing nothing more than attempt to put down the people who dedicated their lives to be able to make that statement.
You on the other hand is not a professor nor a doctor.
What happened to you that you just want to put the science world down?

Wow more personal attacks?
You are upset because they kicked you out of school?

I do not have to prove you wrong, you need to understand real, from theoretical.

Again, light as the fastest thing in the universe, is not a fact, it is a theory. Do you understand this?

Now Pete, why are you changing the subject? is it because you can not answer coherently?

Real = observing.
Have you observed anything that would make my statement false?

Pete, since it is clearly possible to observe a hallucination, then observations of hallucinations are not real. So saying that real = observing, is fallacious.

Do you consider the human race as one family?

Have you abandoned your search for the mass of the Higgs Boson, in favor of a more humanitarian course of study?

@DNA Thumbs drive,

Well you are a jerk. Every time I ask a question to the general public, you bury my posts.
So I figure you were looking for attention.
So let's talk about you.
So what happened in your life that brought to this point? You know for you to be acting this way.

What statement are you referring to here?.

Well when Einstein's statement of "a penny can't go faster than the speed of light". DNA put him down and said something about he don't comb his hair and he doesn't know anything.
Of course when he makes this statements, he doesn't provide any evidence to support it.

Granted that's it's been some eighty years since Einstein made that statement. But I don't know why DNA keeps putting him down.
From what I read about him, he seems like a pretty nice guy.

Well, I always say that about speed of light he 'postulated' it and never proved it of coursse, so it is a dogma, and a false dogma at that.
Light can go way faster than that we are told! There is no limit to the speed of light.
Hope this reaction makes sense in relation to whta yoy wrote, I am not sure.

To prove the theory, all you have to do is observe the resistance of the structure of space when matter, such as the structure of photons, speeds through it.

Photons don't have mass. It would be like saying heat has mass. No. Photons are energy given off by the exchange of electrons moving from one valence shell to another.

Ok well maybe light can go faster than the current speed.
But a penny?
If someone one tells me they can make a penny go faster than light..., really you don't find that comical at all?

@Krumple,

E=M (large number here) .
If you say photons are energy, and mass equals energy.
Lol . If you read what is said "photons contain zero mass at rest". Every physical item has mass.

Actually, I found the whole science thing very comical and not to be taken seriously.

I find Einstein's humor delightful.
The belief of his time was that space was a medium.
Having already explained that energy is another form of matter, he knew that the next question would be " where does the structure of space come from". So instead his formulas provide the evidence for the structure, but he wouldn't address it directly.
