there is no momentum without mass !!

How do you know?

Electric and magnetic fields carry momentum. They don't have mass.

who told you that they dont have mass??
can you prove it by experiment ??

(do you claim it based only on some theory ??
if yes than fix or adjust your theory !)
th e dimensions of momentum are

kilogram meter /second .....
the ' Kilogram' there is not just for decoration
**it is indispensible there **
iow
if you put zero before that' Kilogram' as a multiplyer
you will get zero momentum !!

the needed correction that has to be inserted to the 'existing
understanding'
is
that the photon is a limit exception case
of mass that can move at c (probably the smallest mass)
thats all !!!

The fields would behave in a specific way were photons massive. We've
been over this before.

After all these years you still do not understand that your
'definition' of the photon's mass entirely depends on which system of

after all thjese years you do not understand that

IF SOME PHYSICAL FACTS ARE RIGTH IN ONE LEGITIMATE
UNIT SYSTEM
IT IS RIGHT FOR ANY OTHER UNIT SYSTEM AS WELL
or else the used sysem would not be a legitimate
useful system
2
it was shown to you that no matter what system you use
if you really analyze it *to scratch*
you will find mass in energy
no matter what unit system you will use

i remeber well that
Frazire (spelling ??) showed it even in the cgs system

but you must be expert enough to dig it out
(and actually be open motivationaly to do it ).....

The matter/antimatter(MAM) photon has mass while at c.

At less than c the MAM photon represents less mass.

Photons can also be smaller than electrons, if not 2D quantum string
like.

mass is not energy
energy is
mass IN MOVEMENT !!!
in some cases while mass is converted to energy
it is
E=mc^2
in that case
the inner (invisible) movement
inside the subparticles composing the mass
were sot out as visible
mass in movement
in that case the velocity of that shot out mass
is moving at c---- as photons

please answer the questions:

does the photon has mass??

is mass conserved??

No Sir
mass and energy are not the same thing
as well as as a horse and a horse race is not the same!!

energy is MASS IN MOTION !!
got it??
what is so difficult to remember that ??!!
it is in microcosm exactly as in macrocosm !!!

 Einstein E M ^C2 told us that. Mass can be hypothesised

it is not frozen energy at all !!
E=mc^2

it is mass in INNER motion (hidden motion) that you cant see it
what is so difficult to remember that ???

a special; case in which very small particles (may be the smallest)
move withthe inner velocity of c
---------------------

 Y Porat Do you7 have a better definition for Mass?

no need for a better definition
it is as the old definition:
a property of matter to resist changes in motion or in rest
position !!
now you will ask waht is matter ??
matter is matter .... (:-) an experimental fact and observation
if you like matter is a basic postulate

no Sir
more energy of the same mass is more MOTION

so difficult to get it ??
-----------------

> take an infinite amount of energy for an electron to be pushed to c

the mass of the electron cannot be pushed to c
it is only a much smaller mass that can be pushed to c
what is so difficult to get it ??

In special relativity, it turns out that we are still able to define a
particle's momentum p such that it behaves in well-defined ways that
are an extension of the newtonian case. Although p and v still point
in the same direction, it turns out that they are no longer
proportional; the best we can do is relate them via the particle's
"relativistic mass" mrel. Thus,
When the particle is at rest, its relativistic mass has a
minimum value called the "rest mass" mrest. The rest mass is always
the same for the same type of particle. For example, all protons,
electrons, and neutrons have the same rest mass; it's something that
can be looked up in a table. As the particle is accelerated to ever
higher speeds, its relativistic mass increases without limit.
