Default Photon vs Wave emissions from antennas?

What is mass times the speed of light

A nonsense question since "no mass" for a
photon is associated with it being *at rest*,
i.e. *not moving at the speed of light*.

Perhaps Tom's special reading skills can rescue this p term from the
oblivion of E = 0 for a (p)hoton.


For a photon possessing zero rest mass,
traveling at the speed of light yields
a finite measurable mass.
