No, I am far from thinking light is actually "something." (at least not
a "something" we are familiar with or have "true" examples of ...)

It is unthinkable that any object/particle can exist without mass ...
the discovery and absolute proof of that being possible is in our
future; presently we only have theories ...

I don't argue that it is impossible, rather only improbable. It is more
than likely, like has happened so many times, when we know why rf waves
appear to be both wave and particle, that physicists and mathematicians
will go scurrying to their dens and emerge with new "laws." And,
finally we will have a more complete picture of the phenomenon.

We only see a puzzle, although we can "work with the puzzle", although
we can "seem" to get meaningful data from this puzzle, or manipulate it
to do useful things for us, although we "seem" to have laws, equations
and formulas to describe this puzzle--we have been there and done that
before--that is, we have rewritten those laws, equations and formulas to
fit our new findings and started pretending we have reached the final
conclusions and "know" the phenomenon--but then, at some future date, we
do it all over again ...
