    Can a force be applied to a photon in the direction of its travel?

    Thanks I will be sure to get a copy. So it's almost as if light does not actually travel and it's not really a particle (otherwise it would have infinite mass), it's almost like its information that propagates as fast as it can, almost as if it is in fact instantaneous, but there is a...

    Can a force be applied to a photon in the direction of its travel?

    Ok thanks, so then light has no mass relativistic or otherwise, any force derived from light is then secondary. So then light changes direction without force? And the only thing that changes the direction of light is space-time distortion as in gravity?

    Can a force be applied to a photon in the direction of its travel?

    Good day all, I am simply curious, so excuse my ignorance, I am not a scientist... I wish to posit a question regarding the speed of light through a vacuum, is it possible to apply a force to a photon in the direction of it's travel? And what happens in that instance? Based on special...
