Please.
Good. He's right.
If light had no mass, it would accelerate infinitely.

>he still doesn't understand that c is essentially an infinite speed
>he thinks it's "finite" because he's seen the number 299792458 m/s
It's just a number and it's just for convenience. The speed of light is infinite. It's worthwhile to consider this from the temporal perspective of the photon.
Ahhahahahaha you're wrong! A photon does not have a mass

I could not help but notice your png was not optimized anon.
I have optimized your png.
Your png is now optimized.

Thank you based .png optimizer
What class in middle school is going over special relativity?
>>7648679
c is what we can perceive, not the actual speed of light.
>>7648972
Gravity is general relativity, cunt.
>>7649002
Special relativity deals with light and motion.

Everybody come laugh at this retard. Make sure to point.

He's right, you know; you basically used circular reasoning. It would have been better if you just said "You're right, I don't know, I just read it somewhere but I don't remember the explanation. I will look into it and answer you tomorrow."
