Conceptual questions: Limit of energy?

mardi 29 octobre 2013

Starting with this equation,



[itex]E^2 = p^2c^2 + m^2c^4[/itex]



With a photon, m = 0... what happens when E starts to get large? Very large. As E approaches infinity, do strange things happen? Will a singularity form?



If we let our photon have a mass, something very small, will the picture change at all?



A very open question, since I'm having trouble here... What's the difference between mass and energy?



Thanks for your time!
