Photons. Have. Mass. Deal with it. Don't give me BS about "no rest mass" either.
>>
>>16867125
Photons pack a punch. A massless inertial punch.
Light Fight!

>light doesn't go at the speed of light
your FIFA physics prize is in the mail

Prove it.

They transfer momentum. They have mass. The end.
>>
>>16867235
Yes, yes, OP. You mom is massive and transfers momentum in that everyone stops by for a quick one on their way to work.
But OP, no one ever turns on the light.
Think about it.
>>
>>16867125
What is their rest mass?
>>
>>16867125
When I was a child, I felt the sunshine pushing on the tops of my forearms.
>>
>>16867125
Lol you absolutely don't need mass at all for photons to work. See radiation pressure.

Besides, math wouldn't work anymore when photons have mass. You do believe 2+2 is 4 right?

Allow Mahesh to explain it to you.

>>16867235
Why does a particle need mass in order to transfer momentum? Don't give me BS about p=mv either.

your mom is more massive than Harambe
>>
>>16867235
Having momentum does not mean something has mass. Your kindergarten level physics doesn't apply to the real world.
>>
>>16867125
if E=mc^2 and photons have energy, then they have mass
>>
>>16867915
you gotta use the full equation for this
>>
>>16867452
To experimental precision:
< 1×10−18 eV/c2
or about a million trillion times less massive than a neutrino
>>
>>16867488
oh noes! not my heckin matherinos that won't work... naive set theory didn't work either a la russell's paradox. pray tell -- what aspect of physical reality did this impact? answer: nothing. so, genuinely. honestly. who the fuck cares? not my heckin mathematical rigor!
>>
>>16867967
what full equation?
>>
>>16868042
please tell me you're kidding.....
>>
>>16867125
the issue is more that the photon is both its rest mass quasiphoton and its rest anti-mass antiquasiphoton in the field which sums to zero mass photons. you cant make a mountain in vacuum with making a hole in vacuum using particle physics.

The real equation of momentum does not require momentum:
[math]E^2 = (pc)^2 + (mc^2)^2[/math]
which implies
[math]E = pc \quad \mathrm{or} \quad p = \frac{E}{c}[/math]
Therefore what is needed is total energy, not necessarily mass.
I am afraid you have to find new ways to prove photons have mass besides the classical formula of momentum, which only works on things that have mass and assumes that what you observe has mass and does not mean only things with mass have momentum.
>>
>>16867192
They move the speed of light. Its just that the speed of light is achievable by things with mass.

Only photons may go the speed of light!

RIP my big thick gorilla nigga

of course he's not kidding
he's a retard
>>
>>16868178
I looked it up, and the equation you're referring to is E^2=(mc^2)^+(pc)^2
but p=mv and you're claiming that m=0 for a photon, so it still makes no sense
>>
>>16868789
> but p=mv
That's highschool classical physics, it's not true. Momentum and mass are separate properties.
>>
>>16868794
If it's not true then why does NASA claim it worked to get to the moon? Are you implying the moon landing was also false?
>>
>>16868796
Why are you so mad you don't know what you're talking about?
>>
>>16868794
>equations say photons don't have mass
>actually, E=mc^2 proves otherwise
>waaaaahhhhhh not that equation
>well, actually p=mv actually proves the same thing too
>waaaaaaahhhhhh not that equation either
you are a clown
>>
>>16868803
> actually, E=mc^2 proves otherwise
And how does it do that?
>>
>>16868804
read my previous post >>16867915
>>
>>16868805
That equation only applies to objects at rest. Photons are never at rest.
>>
>>16868867

Space has mass. It’s just so meta we cannot detect it. Extradimensional beings can mold space and its properties like clay.
