What about Louie Debroglie"s Hypothesis that any massive particle behave as a wave. but no mention of masseless particles what ever substance they are supposed to be?

The same hypothesis would applie to light that appears to be a wave but is not.

Any thing that the aastro knots in space gigle would be weitghtless so is light is space. but it does not mean its massless.

In the sense of an earthquake, yeah. That's what it is. A wave of earth moving out from the central point of origin. That has nothing to do with the wave-particle duality. In fact, it's best not to think of it as an actual wave or an actual particle (like a billiard ball).

Yes, you tricky, tricky.
Photon is a good example of a weightless particle. Weightless in motion however :). E=mc^2.
Actually his name was Louis de Broglie, but I’m sure you knew that.
