Quick question, want feedback and sources of literature. As far as I
know only members of the electromagnetic spectrum can travel at the speed
of light. If it is impossible to get anything with mass to travle the
speed of light, because it would need infinite energy, and light has a
wave/<bold>particle</bold> duality...then how do photons of light get the
energy to travel at that speed?
