You guys think one of the Holy Grails is finding out if a photon has
mass. If light is maybe a particle and wave and quantum mechanical is it
possible it only has mass when it is a particle and it's mass changes
when it is a wave?. You really only can detect particles technically
because any method of detection collapses it into a particle but when
light is freely traveling it's a wave.
Maybe something really weird is going on because light is so different.
I never heard anybody suggest that possibility.
Light can be both a particle and a wave simultaneously. In fact,
all QM particles possess this property.

Linux. Because vaporware only goes so far.
