photons – Uncommon Descent

The quantum world underlies our universe but follows its own “rules”

Enrique Blair: Very tricky, those photons.

Astrophysicist: Photons with mass wouldn’t solve the dark matter puzzle

He examines the possibilities and decides that photons probably do not really have mass. But even if they did, that wouldn’t help much with the puzzle that we need dark matter but can’t find it.
