Does Light Quanta have mass?
1.
According to Michelson-Morley experiment light quanta
moves with constant speed: c=3D1.
The physicists say it is result of lack mass at light quanta.
2.
According to GRT gravitation bends light quanta.
This fact was tested by experiment and showed that
Einstein was right.
But to be bend from the straight line light quanta
must have a mass.
[...snip...]

In Newtonian mechanics, a particle has the same motion in a
gravitational field independent of its mass. A feather and a cannon
ball have the same acceleration, and so does a particle of zero
mass. Massless photons would be bent by the sun's gravity in
Newtonian mechanics, but not as much as is predicted by general
relativity.
