Massless Elementary Particles = Bodies of Mass?
#2
RE: Massless Elementary Particles = Bodies of Mass?
The Universe started out as pure energy. In a way, you could consider photons to be the elementary particle. On the other hand, if we consider things what they were instead of what they are, we're idiots.
EDIT: Sorry; I forgot to actually answer your questions. Tongue
1: No clue who he is. Never heard of him before.
2: Photons have no rest mass, but they do have inertia. Elementary particles do indeed have rest mass, even if it is small. Note that weight is not the same as mass, though weight does depend on mass, among other things.
The truth is absolute. Life forms are specks of specks (...) of specks of dust in the universe.
Why settle for normal, when you can be so much more? Why settle for something, when you can have everything?
