Feb 26, 2013 at 18:52 comment added dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten At some point you just have to let go the pop-sci heuristics and dig into the math. If you don't you end up asking a endless series of question like this that are founded on fundamental misunderstandings of the physics. Light has no mass (in the proper meaning of rest mass) and so (1) always moves at c and (2) doesn't have to worry about the apparent magnification of that mass.
Feb 26, 2013 at 18:13 comment added user21299 It's rather clear that it asks about the source of energy required to accelerate a photon, then asks about why do they interact if they are massless etc. Anyway, hopefully we've covered both bases :-)

Feb 26, 2013 at 18:09 comment added askewchan This asks more about their source of energy than acceleration, which could also be a duplicate.

Feb 26, 2013 at 18:02 comment added askewchan It's not terribly clear what you're trying to ask. Try to format your question more like: "I know that. What about this?"
