Assuming SR is correct. There is something very
strange about "light".

What really is light??

Light imposes limits on space-time, setting an absolute
limit for the velocity of any object and distorting the
dimensional relations of objects that approach that
velocity. But what does light have to do with how fast
something goes? If light is a thing in space-time, how
can it affect the length, the mass, and the passage of
time of other things in space-time? And why should
the equivalence of mass and energy have anything to
do with the speed, much less the square of the speed,
of light?
