    Undergrad What distinguishes photons from other particles in terms of mass and speed?

    If light consists of particles, moving at a certain speed and having a certain mass that our eyes can detect, what makes it so much different than other detectable particles moving at other speeds with different masses detectable with other devices? Are there particles that would be...
