...and just how do do you intend to compress light Brainiac, in a vice? Try to think things through before you make yourself look like a complete idiot. Go watch some more Scooby Do!

What has been stated concerning the compression of light is true. It cannot be done. "Light" energy, though, is able to be compressed as you proposed if formed into electrons first. This happens when a high frequency electromagnetic wave enters an atom and is formed into a negative and positive electron. The positive electron is called a "positron", and when it meets with an electron (negative charge due to spin) the two electrons convert back into radiation. What we see as a glow in some masses is a particular frequency of light energy. It is no different than what you are seeing at present, it is just of a frequency you are not familiar with.

What do you mean by compress light? A photon cannot be compressed, as it is neither a particle, nor a wave, and the usual laws of mechanics do not apply to it.

You can not compress light. It's an energy wave like radio waves or any other sort of wave. ( wave-particle duality aside )

No ... light has no mass. It can't be compressed.

yes, it will. when energy is compressed matter is formed which has quite new properties.
