I think you are confusing it with a photino, which is the lightest neutrolino and qualifies as a WIMP, or weakly interascting massive particle, and is a candidate for dark matter.
What if photons have mass and density (m/ λ ) but that their density was
less than that of Space (yes, the aether of Space). If the photon was less dense than Space
then it could achieve the speed of light and still have mass. The mass of a photon can be
determined in the following manner:

The COBE satellite data released in 1992 pretty well demolished both Peraat and Alfvin as cosmologists with anything valuable to say..Epstein et al., The origin of deuterium, Nature, Vol. 263, September 16, 1976 point out that if proton fluxes with energies greater than 500 MeV were intense enough to produce the observed levels of deuterium, they would also produce about 1000 times more gamma rays than are observed.
The COBE data?
You mean this data?
COBE Satellite Finds No Hint of Excess in the Cosmic Microwave Spectrum, Physics Today, 1990 (128K).
COBE Sows Cosmological Confusion, Science, vol. 257, 28, 1992 (356K).
Looks like it supports EU theory to me.
Lerner shows the Big Bang nucleosynthesis proposals to be a joke.
The pseudoscience is dark matter, dark flows, and pink unicorns.

I think I'll crack open a Caribe and watch the glowing ball of hydrogen fusion sink below Nevis Peak and into the sea behind Nick's Cove on the Atlantic side. Sure beats Cambridge where it's 26 F. And it sure beats debating guys who think a current can flow in a vacuum with a 4 electron per cubic centimeter density at 1 AU and no mechanism for charge seperation.
You can cut and paste summary headlines from the popular press all day. It doesn't mean you're smart, just adept at cuttung and pasting, which apparently is the substitute for intelligence and/or education in this thread.Oh-oh, out of Caribe. Have to settle for a Brinley's, the locally made rum, and orange juice.

Nope, no confusion here; I'm capable of reading. Here is the article

then it could achieve the speed of light and still have mass. The mass of a photon can be

It doesn't explicitly state that this is a proven thing, but the the article is pretty damn interesting in my opinion. Especially given that we still don't fully understand the nature of a photon or what it really is. Take a read and let me know what you think of it. I'm still trying to digest the material and look up more information in this regard.

I didn't spend 33 years of my tax paying life to be lied to by government funded stooges.

And how do you think your heroes, Alfvin, Peratt, et al were funded when they held university positions?
My funding comes from licensing fees for technology used in forensics and imaging and my forensic contract work here in St. Kitts/Nevis.. That means I no longer have to deal with grant proposals.

'm still not ready to throw Lorentze out the window. His transformation equation doesn't say, "except when density is less than some value. As for the aether, no one has used the term seriously since the Michelson-Morley experiment.As for the article, it didn't have to go through peer review to get published, since it's the author's Journal.

It was only postulated as a 'what if', but an interesting what if nonetheless. I wouldn't mind seeing any research done on this to test for it's possibility, but I haven't been able to find much information on it. Not sure if the Aether discussed in the article is the same Aether of that experiment cited or if it's this: Quantum Aether Dynamics - There is a lot of information on this site, I'm still going through this as well.
An aether MUST exist in some form or another for EM waves to propagate as they do.
If an aether exists, it is highly unlikely that we have "expanding" space, black holes, dark matter, and other such nonsense.

Here's something neat.
Looking at lafreniere's standing wave model and comparing it to this supposed image of an electron that was just recently achieved, I think we can see some striking similarities.
That certainly looks like it could be a standing wave to me.
I don't know what hypotheticals went into acquiring the image of the electron, so I don't know if that "really" is what an electron looks like or if its just a bunch of baloney, but it certainly is interesting that it matches Lafreniere's model in appearance so closely.

What you're looking at in the film is the energy distribution of the electron.
That matches what Lafreniere proposes very nicely.
As the waves move up and down, you'd see the most energy where the waves peak and fall, the least energy would be observed at the point between each wave peak.
So you're not going to see the waves moving up and down in the electron video.
Lately we've been observer an ever increasing amount of phenomena that the standard model just can't account for
