There are a lot of assumptions in QM. Equations are 'normalized' quite often to fit the expected and observed results. In reality, a 'photon' does not exist and certainly not at rest. So the 'rest mass' of a photon is only a 'normalization' to accommodate the formulas. A 'photon' only exists at the speed of light or it does not exist.
We can measure the 'wave function' of a particle or we can measure the 'particle' function of a wave, but we cannot measure both simultaneously. we do not really understand the wave-particle duality. It is probably something totally different than what we can perceive at this time. Once this is identified, we will, again, modify and 'normalize' the equations to suit our needs.

You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
