A photon whether it is mass or energy it shouldn’t move at c.
A photon is a mathematical construct that helps us predict the behaviour of electromagnetic radiation.

Einstein says no mass nor energy should move at the speed c.
If you are, instead, trying to assert that light doesn't move at the speed of light and you are trying to convince us that it doesn't, this is belongs in the New Theory section.
Einstein knew perfectly well that light(1) has energy and(2) travels at the speed of light
I'm speaking about a contradiction in special relativity.
he says mass or energy "light" shouldn't move at c.
He knew light is energy and it travels with c but he says mass or energy "light" shouldn't move at c.Can you see any contradiction here ?

I am not aware of anywhere in special relativity that states that energy cannot move at c. Einstein considers a moving object with its rest mass and other energy as a whole mass in his equations , then mass is just energy and energy is just mass if a photon is energy then it is just a mass , it is a mass moves at c which it shouldn't. Or mass/energy equivalence
it is a mass moves at c which it shouldn't.
What is a photon ?A photon whether it is mass or energy it shouldn’t move at c.

I can picture it.
A photon is a Riemann Sphere with four charges encoded into it on a circle in the Riemann Sphere. The charges are encoded as "left out events of spacetime".
That does not make it real.
Quote from: Bored chemist on 12/05/2020 18:44:01That does not make it real.It can explain why and how a photon is emitted at the speed of light.
