Correction: Photons have no rest mass. "radiated" photons have the
properties of mass because they are affected by gravitation. Light can
be bent by large bodies of mass.

Oh sure, they have a "perceived mass", don't they?; I mean, we seem to
be able to measure it, don't we? How do you know it "exists ALL ITS
TRAVEL TIME", what makes you think it is not constantly oscillating for
energy to mass ... and it is ONLY the average of that which we are
REALLY measuring ... can you prove that, well, CAN YOU? Can you provide
any relevant data here to prove it? Any URLs? Any quotes from famous
physicists? Any psychics? Have you consulted Art? again-innocent-smile

But then, you ever try to run along side of one of those photons and
measure it? I mean, this is how you really gain a critics respect
(heck, you'd even gain acknowledgment from the arrl, well,
most-likely--well, I think you would--IMHO anyway, etc.) -- now, the
question to separate the men from the boys -- now, have you?

I should have used black holes as my example. One only needs to accept
that black holes exist in order to believe that gravity affects the
property of mass inerent in light ;-)

Maybe it's not gravity that bends the light that comes near black holes.
Maybe it's something more sinister like extremely strong magnetic forces. .
.. Maybe I just don't have the faith necessary to believe in black holes
(tongue firmly in cheek).
