1.
According to Michelson-Morley experiment light quanta
moves with constant speed: c=1.
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.
3.
If light quanta has mass when according to SRT, moving
with constant speed c=1 its mass become infinite.
That is impossible.
4.
School’s question: What is Light Quanta?
======================= . .
P.S.
On my opinion without to understand what " The Law
of Conservation and Transformation of Energy/ Mass"
means according to single light quanta this question
connot be solved.
( And , please, don’t forget about dualism of light quanta:
as a particle without mass ( ?), and a wave as a - ? )
================= . .
I think we do not know with certainty if light has mass or not. The
standing theory is that light as particles do NOT have mass and it has
not been disproven. Am I right?
My wording may not be perfectly correct, but basically
light/photons have gravitational mass in that they both
respond to gravity and generate a gravitational field although
if I recall correctly that field is about 1/3rd what it would be if
all its energy was converted to rest mass.
It does not of course have inertial mass because you cannot
change its speed.
