What is light

Also the ammo in the Solar Scorcher (sunlight).

PS: Light is not matter because it's massless. If it had mass, then it would not be able to go the speed of light.

By Surf's standards you now look like a smartass for posting a wikipedia link...  Still an interesting link though.

To think a guy actually spent 50 years trying to get a precise measurement of the speed of light....  1877 until his death in 1931

Surf, this might suit you better, look.

Dear scientist guys,

I was contracted with M&M Defense to make a plane that goes faster than light speed of light. The ultimate stealth bomber. Except there's one problem, the crews end up dead somehow... please help! Also my superiors are apt to go agianst my incredible "speed of light" design because they think light is too slow and 2nd rate for our deserving crews. They reasoned light is too slow because they can see their desk lights turn on/off.

love,
Yoyo

Light is this stuff made out of photons and that makes it a really funny thing.
Why is it funny? Well for one we don't know if photons don't have a tiny bit of mass after all...if they do then light can't move with the speed of light.
Everyone knows there's antimater, so protons have anti-protons, electrons have anti-electrons and so on. But photons have photons, they are their own antiparticles.
It takes any photon 100 mln years to get from the core of the sun to its surface, and only 5 minutes to get from there to Earth.
The Univers started 13.5 mld years ago, so if nothing moves faster then light then the cosmos should be 13.5 mld lightyears across? Right?
Wrong! In fact it is way larger.
Funny.
