We have a new upper limit for the light mass. According to measurements of pulsating stars scattered across the Milky Way and mysterious radio signals from other galaxies, a particle of light – called a photon – cannot be heavier than 9.52 × 10-46 kilograms. It’s a small limit, but if we discover that light … Read more
