If they didn't say zero *rest* mass, they should have.
A particle with zero rest mass cannot ever travel at
the speed of light as its mass would increase without
limit. Photons do travel at the speed of light but
are known to possess energy and momentum which is
equivalent to mass related by e=mc^2.

That is my point Cecil It would take me years at my slow rate to get
up to par to even discuss it let alone debate. No mass one minute and
mass the next minute, absolutely facinating, but beyond my ken and
time is short
