I recently saw a video on CERN Antimatter:Mirror of the universe website where it was explained that matter and antimatter will anihilate one another when brought together and release their energy in the form of light. It was futher explained that matter added to a confined space (container) will,as more and more is added (lets say hydrogen), transform from a gas to liqued to a solid state and at some point the space will be satturated with matter in the sense that it will be very difficult to add more matter. With light, apparently, this is not the case, as more and more light forced together will not satturate the space, oddly they said it will even become easier at some point. Does this mean light has no mass or size? What is the relationship between mass and size? If light has the property that it could be divided again into matter and antimatter, could the universe have come from light, or could the singularity have only been light at first, and how much light (energy) was needed?
