Do you believe in god or math?

Last point first. I should have said energy or mass. But there is no experiment we can yet devise that can prove this. If we could create in the lab (an exotic type of machine,)
the conditions of absolute zero, the photon would be at rest, and we could see if it has mass. We remain in limbo.
Big problems testing this here: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Pa..._mass.html

Had you read your own link:
"If the rest mass of the photon were non-zero, the theory of quantum electrodynamics would be "in trouble" primarily through loss of gauge invariance, which would make it non-renormalisable; also, charge conservation would no longer be absolutely guaranteed, as it is if photons have zero rest mass."

Congratulations, you just broke E/M, general relativity and violated gauge invariance.

Last one's a killer though.

How do you plan to not violate gauge invariance while maintaining that light has mass? Or would you hold that the laws of physics are not uniform?

How shall I not violate gauge invariance? Gosh, almighty, I so want to violate it. Is there invariance anywhere? Or do all things change? Do you think the simplistic ideas in science now, will be laughed at in 100(more or a lot less) years?

I do!

Do you not laugh at Victorian era science, and their projective ideas?

Except for the bits that seem true Sometimes genius humans figure important bits out.
If the jury we are hoping to impress, maybe just 1 year, or even 10 years from now, thinks this may solve some of their physics issues...,
