IF Light can display properies as both a particle and a waveform, would that negate the threshold of Light as the ultimate speed limit of mass?
No. Why should it?
Or does it imply that anything going AT the speed of light loses all Mass characteristics?
No. Why should it?
Is the amout of energy EXPENDED to accelerate mass to the speed of light considered to be infinite?
Yes.
(exponentially taking MORE energy to push a smaller mass faster?)
Not exponentially, but increasing, yes.
Is there an Energy barrier of diminishing returns?
Sorry, I don't understand this question.
In other-words the Speed of Light is probably FASTER than the practical ability to gain acceleration? (except on a molecular scale?)
Sorry, I don't understand this question.
If Light is a particle,
Not "is a particle". More like "consists of particles".
and that particle is scillating (frequency)
No, photons are not oscillating.
and the frequency of oscillation is longer than a reference point,
Sorry, I don't understand what this is supposed to mean. What reference point? And what does it mean to say that frequency is "longer"? Frequency does not have a length.
do different frequency oscillations cause the particles to move at different speeds in relation to the crossover point of teh oscillation?
Sorry, I don't understand what this is supposed to mean. What "crossover point"? What particles? The photons?
If so does that indicate that Light particles of a longer wavelength
Photons don't have a wavelength. Only waves have wavelengths.
are traveling faster tham shorteones to cover the same distance of linear travel in the same time reference,
No.
(actually covering more distance because of wider oscillations?)
No.
Or it is represented that the particle travels at a constant speed linearly,
Yes.
but oscilates perpendicular to the direction of travel a greater vaariance from the crossover reference? (wobble?)
No, again: photons do not oscillate.
If a light particle oscillates,
It doesn't.
what does it oscillate AROUND, would it be like an Orbit with a complementary mass to oscillate around?
No.
Excuse my simplistic non-educated questions.
No problem. Ignorance is curable. ;-)
Bye, Bjoern .
