Ykyagw you argue with your physics teacher about wording. I mean, seriously, saying "light has mass" is like saying "cable is internet". You can get internet through your cable company, but they aren't the same.

Actually, you're both right. If you take light as a wave, then it's correct to say that it "carries" mass. But if you see it as a stream of photons, then it "has" mass because it's made of particles. And as Erwin Schrödinger would tell you, light is both a wave and a stream of photons at the same time.

I know, he explained it and I agreed, but it's a lot more complicated than a simple "light has mass". It's those kinds of oversimplifications that really bug me.

[crazyness003]

YKYAG when you agree to the above statement. I also agree with GepettoBR. Its both at the same time. Even though we've never actually proven it. All of it is theoretical.

[GepettoBR]

Yes, oversimplification annoy the Hell out of me too. Unfortunately, most people won't understand the full explanation, so it has to be dumbed down, and then explained properly to the people who can actually understand the subject.

YKYAGW you're one of these people.

YKYAGW you'd lıke to have a battery ındıcator for your own body, for example when you exercıse (yes, some geeks do exercıse)... Er, I thınk that's what hunger ıs, so never mınd.
