Alright now, c'mon. Right now I'm 18 years old, I came up with this
theory when I was 17 during my AP Chemistry class. I was bored, and
we've never even learned about four-vector and rest mass. My god man,
ease up some.

As for everyone else, thanks for the input, I've actually learned a
little about all of this stuff. I've haven't been introduced to
photons yet and this will probably help me when I do get started on
them.

As for orignal question, I understand that light doesn't have mass (I
guess), but I want to know where my formula went wrong. If my formula
doesn't have a mistake, then apparently there's a mistake in one of
the equations. And if that's the case then I'd like to look into that
a little more.

Thanks to everyone for all of the input, I was just hoping I could
find out more about my formula rather than the real reasoning behind
the mass of light and photon and stuff. Thanks again.
