Rest Mass of Photon Cannot be Equal to Zero

Authors: Kunwar Jagdish Narain

Currently, the rest mass of photons is assumed to be = 0. Otherwise, according to expression of moving mass, the moving mass of photons becomes infinite, because, according to Einstein’s postulate of the theory of relativity, the velocity of photons (v) is assumed to be = c (constant). Since the moving mass (or any type of mass) of photons (or of any particle) cannot be infinite, their rest mass is assumed to be = 0. However, the current assumption cannot be true. Because, there are several evidences and plausible arguments to prove that the photons possess finite rest mass. Therefore, presently, a solution has been determined such that the moving mass of photons may not become infinite despite they possess finite rest mass.
