The mass of photon

[Semjase]

I thought light was identical to radio waves except at

a different frequency, radio waves produce voltage in

a conductor by magnetic fields crossing the antenna

in the same way as a flux from a magnet at low

speeds crosses a wire, what is sacred about

light.

[ACG52]

Neither light nor magnetic fields have mass.

 

If you have any credible sources, i.e. not Aliens, for your position please provide them. If this is just your 'reasoning' from ignorance, then

[Semjase]

Universities are generally right according to one

magnetic fields have mass, check below

I think we have an important discovery

[ACG52]

That field has an energy of (roughly) 10¹² ergs. That corresponds to a mass of 10^-9 grams. So for most purposes we just forget about it.

 

 

That does not say that magnetic field have mass. That says that magnetic fields have energy. The energy is equivalent to the energy contained in 10^-9 grams (E = mc²) Equivalent to is not 'is'.

[Semjase]

I think it would be very important to conduct an experiment to find out.

 

Here I would like to add some other peoples ideas on the subject
