The standard theory is that you can't accelerate an object that has Mass to the speed of light because it would take an infinite amount of energy; But Light itself must have Mass because it can be affected by Gravity- The more Mass an object has the greater the effects of gravity..........Please feel free to go cross-eyed at any time(I already have). Enjoy!
That you for contributing something that is thought provoking and relevant to my experiment.

Soon it will be known that all matter is made of tiny rings of light. The Higgs-Boson is made of light.
Light bends space and time.
scienceline.ucsb.edu...
As we all know, light is also electromagnetic, and it travels very fast. So what do you think happens if you take light and bend it into a very tiny orbit?
The light will complete its orbit so fast that it will actually get attracted to the tail end of itself. The light will cause itself to travel faster than you have ever measured it, in this tiny orbit, forming a large amount of energy. Enough energy to drastically bend space-time in the center of its orbit, and create what we know as mass and gravity, and some other neat forces.
When the light travels faster than you have ever measured it, the point at which the head of the light is attracted to its tail will start to move so fast that the point itself actually gets attracted to itself as well. This causes that one orbit of light to exist in multiple places at once, all joined at the center point. Forming what you see below:
All has been discovered long ago. Maybe I am revealing too much.
Anyway, why do you think that matter and antimatter transform into gamma rays when they collide?
The bulk of the universe is matter and energy that we have not been able to measure and quantify. I also stated that the equation was WRONG.

The units are:
E : Joule =Watt*seconds = kg m²/s²
m: Kilogram
c: Meter/seconds
Therefore, you are not receiving Joule, but Joule * m^4/s^4... Which doesn't make much sense, or could you elaborate?

You mean the kind of thread where the OP posts an equation, others point out it's wrong, then the OP says "I also stated that the equation was WRONG."?

I puzzles me that there seems to be very little support for this kind of thread on this site.
This was designed as a social experiment to see how people would react to reading something that challenged a well established belief structure. SCIENCE is no different than RELIGION in many ways. After reading something that challenged a well establish scientific principle most people attacked like a swarm of bees. The same happens when you challenge a belief that someone considers to be sacred. I hope this serves to highlight how rigid we can be with some of our thought processes.

the op was (admittedly) terrible. you wished for the op to change the title. the math has no meaning, it is (admittedly) wrong. you displayed a lack of basic math skill. you told us that you did all of this to confuse us ON PURPOSE.
well, you win, I am confused.
back to my "little box" I go.
So the equation failed, the math failed, and now it's revealed the social experiment was a failed design, and then failed logic is applied to say that believing that 3 is not equal to 4 is comparable to believing that flying spaghetti monster created the Earth in 3.5 days 3000 years ago.

Since this is a hoax thread and the OP is a hoax, er, um, social experiment, I guess it's on topic to post this other hoax, er, um, social experiment, about that. It's not being used as a social experiment here because I'm already saying it's false, but I actually found it on another site conducting a social experiment to see if people would believe it:

But a flashlight that is fixed in place, doesnt have
motion other than the rotation of the planet itself.
So the photons shouldnt move faster than the rotation.
