I know for a fact that light has mass.Do you believe me???...tom science?

Question

A singularity at a black holes center won't let go of it because it has mass,hence they are black and no light can escape,regardless...tom science

Answer 1

The energy in light can be converted to mass. But light is made up of massless particles called photons. The reason light cannot escape a black hole is that the black hole creates an infinite hole in the universe, and so, it is easy to see that anything that drops in this hole can never come out again.

Answer 2

Anything involving speeds comparable to light and an object the size and mass of a black hole does not follow Newton's Law of Gravitation, but Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. General Relativity simply states that gravity is a "dent" in space-time.

Newton's Law of Gravitation needs 2 masses to work. Relativity needs just one mass. Anything moving in space and time will be affected by that mass, even if the "thing" has no mass.

Imagine that space-time is a piece of cloth laid horizontally. Any mass put on the cloth will curve it. Now imagine a string (representing light) going near the mass, and going "straight". The string would follow the curve near the mass.

A black hole can be imagined to be a "rip" in space-time. Going back to the cloth, say there is a hole in it (a black hole). Pass the string through any part on the hole and it falls, never to return to space-time until the hole is patched,

Finally, it seems that there are lot of people irritated by your question, not because of what you asked, but how you asked it. If I could make a suggestion: I would do a little research before asserting something the way you did it. Nothing personal, :)

Answer 3

Light, as far as modern science has yet concluded and proved, does not have mass, to attain the speed of light with a mass would require an infinite amount of energy. As far as a black hole goes, its gravity bends the shape of space around it bringing it to a point leaving nothing any room to escape. And I personally believe it to be rather arrogant ot assume knowledge of the circumstances within black holes and the dynamics of said singularity when modern scientists have yet to understand them.

Answer 4

Light is made of photons. Each photon is a quanta, which is a very small amount of energy. Energy does not have mass, but they can convert into each other according to Einstein's equation E=Mc^2.

Light can be caught in a black hole becuase the gravity is so strong it even pulls energy in.

Answer 5

Mass is a form of energy. If you burn a piece of paper, the energy in the fire overcomes the powerful bonds in the paper and the energy in the paper is released as heat and light.

Light does have mass b/c it can be captured by black holes. But in reality, all things are literally made of energy - and as a corollary all energy can become mass if converted properly.

Answer 6

For what it's worth, I would pick Nick N's answer as best.

Light has no mass. It does have energy and momentum, which means it can interact with mass.

I have to admit. I almost did believe your name was 'tom science', especially after reading your sensible answer on how to make spiders stop spinning spider webs on a person's car.

Answer 7

I hate you. You always pick the most obscene idiotic answers as the best one only because the people that post them are as ignorant as you. Your questions are poorly worded and I often wonder if you take the short bus to school.

A PHOTON, THE QUANTUM PARTICLE OF LIGHT, DOES NOT HAVE A REST MASS. NO ONE SHOULD BELIEVE A WORD YOU SAY.

Your parents should lock you in your room and take away your internet access.

Answer 8

Whats the question?

Answer 9

Pure energy.

Answer 10

I don't belive you. if ligh would have mass then you cannot stay in light. It's momentum will squeze you. LIGHT IS MASS LESS.
