I think we are a long way from truly understanding light. Talking about "relative mass" as physicists do to avoid the implications of infinite energy requirements for light as well as for other substances is evasive at best. Does light not accelerate when it is let out of a box. If we take the smallest parcel of light that can exist, and contain it, then it is clearly not travelling across the universe. We flick a switch and light floods the room--not instantly but very very quickly. However, did it not accelerate? Did it go from 0 to 186 in 0 seconds? "Perhaps at that point things do accelerate to that top speed, time stops, and the potential of the future cystalises into the Now." Very interesting thought! "If so, our conscience is a process of endlessly surfing the shockwave of the universe's destruction" Well...perhaps there is a beach of white powdery sand. <g>
