1.
According to Michelson-Morley experiment light quanta
moves with constant speed: c=1.
The physicists say it is result of lack mass at light quanta.
2.
According to GRT gravitation bends light quanta.
This fact was tested by experiment and showed that
Einstein was right.
But to be bend from the straight line light quanta
must have a mass.
3.
If light quanta has mass when according to SRT, moving
with constant speed c=1 its mass become infinite.
That is impossible.
4.
School’s question: What is Light Quanta?
======================= . .
P.S.
On my opinion without to understand what " The Law
of Conservation and Transformation of Energy/ Mass"
means according to single light quanta this question
connot be solved.
( And , please, don’t forget about dualism of light quanta:
as a particle without mass ( ?), and a wave as a - ? )

GRT explains that gravitation is a distortion of spacetime, which
explains the apparent bending of light. Light does not need mass to be
deviated - it is entirely due to the distortion of spacetime.

you are right!!

light is bending next sun
because it has mass
your considerations are not the only one

there are even simpler ones
it is

E=hf
h is EXPERIMENTAL !! and
and h contains mass

(scalar X Kilogram Meter^2 X 1/sec )

alltogether

scalar X Kilogram meter ^2/sec ^2

as any other energy !!!t
that is meaningless without mass

moreover
th e PHYSICS RULE rule is much **wider ::

**: NO MASS - NO REAL PHYSICS **!!

and if the fucker mathematician physicists
do not understand it now
they will understand it later
(and the sooner the better )

go learn about how a physics formula

E=hf
i dont show at the first stage quantites

i show QUALITATIVELY!!
that the photon energy has mass
and the next prove of mine is that

**there is just one kind of mass*
no relativistic and no schmelativistic
just one
and .....
if so ???
the mass in hf is The mass
no matter how you will call it
is
**The mass **
so
no mass no real physics!!
no higgs no virtuals without mass
no particles with

off shell etc
even not for a fraction of a second--
no off mass shell
another conclusion as for now

The common opinion:
The quanta has mass, but no rest mass as it does not rest.

Socratus:
It is no law. It is physicists’ opinion, it is some kind of
silly ‘Copenhagen’s interpretation’ the laws of Nature.
#
Light Quanta plays very important role in the Nature.
Why does the Nature need the ‘stupid’ light quanta if it can go
or knows to go only by straight line. Is the Nature so ‘fool’
to create unusual important particle?
Or maybe the interpreter’s fantasies make It and us to be stupid.

Hey Mr genius

if you sit on your chair
it means that you have a different mass than if you walk??
and when you walk and then stop
something in your mass changed ??
why should it change??
and if you claim that the burden of prove is on you!!
if you write it as

Amen to that comment!

I know that I am a party pooper, but I have to wonder where posters
like these get their rather bizarre concept of physics, since it
becomes obvious to any moderately educated reader, that they have
never cracked a textbook on the subject. I am a physicist, hence I
know that Einstein never completed his General Theory of Relativity.
Laymen appear to believe that he did, and are constantly trying to
apply it to subjects that they have no hope of grasping.

I believe that the blame falls on the doorsteps of booksellers like
Barnes and Noble, and to the authors that write this speculative crap
and sell it to the public for the simple purpose of augmenting their

================================================

v^2/c^2 is greater than one for all v <c.
1 - v^2/c^2 is less than one.
sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) is less than one.
One divided by (something less than one) is greater than one,
i.e. 1 / 0.5 = 2 and two is greater than one.

Why do they call it the Lorentz contraction when it is an Einstein
expansion?

tau = (t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)

Substituting for x its value,

tau = (t-v.(vt)/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
= (t-t.v^2)/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
= t * sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)

sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) is less than one, hence tau less than t.

Why do they call it time dilation when it is time compression?

Are all theoretical physicists so fucking stupid that schoolboy algebra
has them defeated and why should any moderately educated reader
even bother cracking a text book on the subject since Einstein was
clearly an incompetent moron?

I believe that the blame falls on the doorsteps of fuckheaded
schoolteachers and morons claiming to be physicists that write this

augmenting their income by building super colliders and launching
gravity probes and searching for black holes and dork energy at

Furthermore, why haven't you, Conover, who claims to be a physicist,

Why would I admit to something that which is disproved by observation?
When are you going to learn that dimensional analysis is merely a
consistency check - NOT a predictive tool?

Name one observed quantity whose magnitude - or even existence - can
be determined wholly through such dimensional considerations.

-------------------
who said that a prove must be predictive
of something else (that does not belong to the specific issue ??
wthile the prove that mass is there is
ALREADY THERE !!in hf
how many times i have to remind you that
E=hf
is a super experimentally proven formula
so i can predict that if F will be
f1 the E will be E1
perfectly unequivocal
but nothing to do with the question
whether hf mas mass or not
the prove mas is there is already done
the moment that formula wa created
9provided you know and understand
how a physics formula is created and used !!
if you dont understand that
nothing will do !!

if i say that
F = ma
and the dimension analysis showes that this formula is composed of

some scalars multiplies by
kilogran meter /second ^2
can you say that force has nothibng to do with mass??
iow
can you say that you can ommit the mass there
and the formula will still be valid ??
the meaning of that formula
is not just a mathematical meaning
any part of it has a
PHYSICAL MEANING !!
if metaphorically you compare the dimension of a formula to the legs
of it
can you cut one of its legs and it will still be the same ??
ie
the prediction was done much before me ...
yet the insight about what are its components (*all of them - no one
overlooked !!!!!)
that has nothing to do with predictions
except that if mass was getting in
it will be conserved there

btw conservation of mass was discovered by chemistry long ago
it is a pitty that methematicain physicists
didnt learn and internalize basic chemistry

so the first one to analyze all the components that make the hf--
without forgetting any of them -
was first done by ..........??
actually all sane physicists admited that
the energy of photon has mass
but their 'explanation was
'but it is 'relativistic mass'
ie
they **invented an ad hock a new kind of mass WHY ??

because the paradigm that
NO MASS CAN REACH c !!!
but then came Porat and claimes;
if you want to straighten alll of it up
to work in harmony
without ad hock inventions of
**NEW PHYSICAL ENTITIES **
you must accept a new insight that
THE PHOTON IS AN **EXCEPTION * TO THE RULE
THAT
'NO MASS CAN REACH c !!
but for that
one must have a creative human mind
not a parrots mind
anyway
i am getting tired about your ability
to learn something that is not written in your books

so
we have two kinds of mass
1
a photon that has mass AND energy

2
a photon that has energy but bot mass

3
may be even
a photon that has no energy and no mass

how can we find the difference

Renormalization is a procedure of accounting for infinite sums of
diagrams in the perturbation approximation to QED (and other QFTs such
as the standard model -- I'll discuss only QED). In QED it results in a
change in the mass and charge of the electron (from "bare" mass and
charge to "dressed" mass and charge); the fields are also dressed. This
handling of infinite sums of diagrams cancels the infinities that would
otherwise occur in the bare computations (known as ultraviolet
divergences). There is a different procedure (regularization) for the
infrared divergences.

Renormalization is applied to the perturbation APPROXIMATION to the
theory, and does not affect the theory itself. In particular, it does
not affect the mass of the gauge boson (the photon). This is a direct
consequence of the gauge invariance of the theory (which also holds in
the perturbation approximation). Renormalization does not affect the
fact that in QED the Lagrangian has no mass term for photons; and in the
perturbation approximation the photon propagator has no mass term.

Perhaps if you spent less time posting nonsense to the net, and more
time STUDYING, you would learn something. You also need to learn about
your personal limits and failings.

Light is not mass.

Light is simply the visual proof that electromagnetic energy (mass)
has colided with mass.

You ask the question like the answer matters. I'm not the one who is
making the assertions that the photon has mass. *I'M* not the one who
is wholly ignorant of the theory surrounding the entity you have been
arguing about for 6+ years.

I learned that there is a treatment of either case. They are not
simultaneously true - learn to read.

When the "prediction" is based off the personal preference of a
retired - near senile - structural engineer with no education in
physics, you might as well flip a coin.

When tasked to make a _quantitative_ prediction you come up massively

ridiculous statements aimed to generate three responses from Tom, in
an effort to keep someone busy by flinging ridiculous statements. It's

something you say.

It's well known that you don't like to substantiate anything you say,

Tom, this wacko character is not here to learn or to be polite with
anybody. He has no social education at all. He just wants to make
everyone clear he has an IQ of 200, five doctoral degrees, and nothing
anyone here can say to him, will convince him of being wrong, as he
considers all of us as idiots and schizos.
The mere fact we, knowing his behavior and intentions, respond to all
the nonsense he writes, speaks bad of ourselves. The only thing he
deserves from us is to just ignore him. That will, for sure, piss him
off, as it is also a characteristic of his behavior to look for

If you used your brains instead of your mouth, then maybe I can start

My opinion about this discussion.

1.
This debate is ‘ hurricane in cup of coffee’
2.
This debate is ‘ deaf ’s dispute’.
3.
From Huyghens / Newton’s time the discussion
about light quanta doesn’t stop.
And we can debate 100 years more and other 100 years,
but without to understand what ‘ The Law of Conservation
and Transformation of Energy/ Mass’ means ( according
to one single light quanta ) this dispute will be endless.

Honest Roberts, your Master John Baez was quite enigmatic about this:

http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics/msg/5f3d12021141e34c
John Baez, Oct 27 1995: "You can see that I did not assert anything
about the photon's mass. I know what the photon's mass is, but I never
talk about it around here because the endless discussion of the
photon's mass is boring, boring, boring."

Now Master John Baez does not care about the photon's mass. More
precisely, Master John Baez does not give a shit about the photon's
mass:

http://www.edge.org/q2008/q08_5.html
Master John Baez: "On the one hand we have the Standard Model, which
tries to explain all the forces except gravity, and takes quantum
mechanics into account. On the other hand we have General Relativity,
which tries to explain gravity, and does not take quantum mechanics
into account. Both theories seem to be more or less on the right track
but until we somehow fit them together, or completely discard one or
both, our picture of the world will be deeply schizophrenic.....I
realized I didn't have enough confidence in either theory to engage in
these heated debates. I also realized that there were other questions
to work on: questions where I could actually tell when I was on the
right track, questions where researchers cooperate more and fight
less. So, I eventually decided to quit working on quantum gravity."

Is helicity of a subluminal particle a frame-dependent quantity? Yes
or No?

One would expect to find both, though not in equal amounts of course.

The correct answer is either. And right now (as you have found out in
your research), only left-handed neutrinos exist.

Let me summarize that:

1) Helicity is frame-dependent.
2) Neutrino helicity is frame dependent.
3) We expect both left and right handed neutrinos.
4) Experiment only finds left-handed neutrinos.
5) Experiment contradicts the relativistic prediction of the
occurrence of both left and right hand neutrinos.

Are you saying that experiment has ruled out the existence of right-
handed neutrinos? Please cite your reference for this.

It's rarer than our sensitivity presently, at least from what would be
expected from current neutrino mass estimates, and therefore what the
fraction of right-handed neutrinos is estimated to be.
