It has been said one of the great mysteries of the universe is how light can be both a wave and a particle. Indeed this is lots of fun to ponder. But one thing I can not mesh into the e=mc2 equation is when matter approaches the speed of light, it expands and thus never quite reaches that speed. Well if light is part matter, how the hell does it defy this law and get to be so fast? Do light particles expand as they travel? Please enlighten this freshman physics afficionado...
