New Theories / Re: An essay in futility, too long to read :)

What I think of as a very supportive argument for something else than light 'propagating' are our physical laws, the ones we found recently. Take f.ex the 'recoil' existing as a light quanta (photon) gets emitted. It doesn't have a mass. But we have something called conservation laws in physics which demands this recoil. A momentum is about propulsion and for a gun you will need chemical energy exploding (burning) in the cartridge propelling a bullet. That force goes both ways, pushing the bullet while pushing the gun in opposite directions.
but lights momentum isn't really about a force 'exploding', at least not as I understands it. It's about a force only directed forward and without accelerations involved. It's never 'at rest', so how does it create a recoil?
Conservation of momentum.
" Momentum is defined to be the mass of an object multiplied by the velocity of the object. The conservation of momentum states that, within some problem domain, the amount of momentum remains constant; momentum is neither created nor destroyed, but only changed through the action of forces as described by Newton's laws of motion.
