this analytic expression for the mass of the photon comes from the
self-field theory as applied to the hydrogen atom. It shows the
internal workings of the atom to be a collision-based physics.

so may be you can tell us in figures
what is the smalles mass of a photon in KG??

Sorry for my ingorance here, but I thought mass was resistance to the
thing we all call movement.
Once a photon exists, it just goes right?
So what makes a photon? Well if I turn on a neon light, it is my
understanding that electrons go through a wire and then encounter some
resistance in the presence of a gas.
The gas molecules start getting faster and faster in the bulb.
As they move faster, electrons in the gas molecules start going into
higher orbitals, but then they hit something which slows it down (like
one of the less excited gas moledules) and the electron goes back
down, and a photon is emmited.
Once the photon is emitted, it just goes the speed light as far as we
can tell, right?
And the speed of light is the fastest movement we think is possible.
So I guess the photon has no resistance to movement and thus no mass.
Maybe in the act of the photon "springing to life" something happens
by which there is an acceleration of some kind and energy is
transfered to the photon?
