The No Mass of Photons
The no mass of photons is not in Einstein's relativity. If the photon did have a mass then paradoxically light would not travel at the speed of light. The strength of the force decreases like 1 over the square of the distance if you go twice as far away you feel one quarter of the force and that turns out to be very deeply related to having a massless force carrier.
