Excellent Neutralino! But common doctrine says that photons have 0 rest mass. In principle can we say however that photons should have a rest mass that is, in effect, infinitely small? And if so would this be the higgs boson. For how can an object have relativistic mass if it does not have at least a little bit of rest mass? It would violate principle would it not?
