There is matter that has mass. There is matter that *has no mass*: Massless matter. e.g. *massless matter fermions* https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1742-6596/349/1/012001/pdf cf. https://www.symmetrymagazine.org/article/massless-particles-cant-be-stopped @philipthrift -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
