it is not entirely correct. we identify mass and energy as equivalent. We cannot measure the mass, but E=hv, v= frequency, E= mc^2. So a photon acts as if it has a mass of m=hv/c^2 That's how we treat it in physics.

Cartrell Holt, I wonder too,my personal opinion is many researchers and schoolers have debated such topic before the likes Terence Howard trying to show the world how this calculations,numbers,theories & studies have been misleading. Take an example of sunglasses to prevent UV light from the sun, apparently black Africans need it more than any other race & I'm not trying to be racist but truth is blacks are not taught this things.
