photons have an upper limit on their mass of 0.0000000000000006 electron volts, I was confused about electron volts as a measure of mass, but it's not that they have mass, it's that photons have energy and momentum.
Yeah, relativity confuses the hell out of me, too.

yes, but when solar sailing, how does one tack upwind?

Treating that as a serious question, the answer is you don't, you just trim and fall toward the source.

Finding out the speed of light is easy. All you need is a microwave oven and some marshmallows.

OMG let's start the whole wave v. particle debate again! BTW it is a particle :)
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
