Momentum also equals the product of Planck's constant h, multiplied by the photon's frequency, divided by the speed of light c.
Flaw #2)And how can light have energy? E=mc^2
If there is no mass, energy will also be zero.
Incorrect. Energy of a photon is based on its frequency as well.
Look, Einstein demonstrated all of this nearly a century ago, and he won a Nobel prize for it. The experiment he conducted can and has been repeated numerous times. It works. Repeatedly saying "it's unpossible" doesn't make it so.
*sigh* You really don't even understand basic Newtonian mechanics, do you? Acceleration is NOT purely a change in speed, it also constitutes (or can constitute) a change in DIRECTION. That is because Acceleration is "change in velocity" - and velocity has two components, magnitude and direction. Change magnitude, that's acceleration. Change direction, also acceleration. Change both, also acceleration. Got that? If you don't, I REALLY SUGGEST YOU TAKE A PHYSICS CLASS!
No. Mass attracts mass, plain and simple. Electric charges attract or repel, and that's a separate force. Strong nuclear force is attractive.
Again - if you haven't actually studied the physics, then you really don't have much place trying to defy it.
let me put it in lamen's terms. Momentum is mass in motion. Momentum cannot be applied to an object without mass. Look it up in a dictionary.

Momentum is directly proportional to mass.

Momentum is directly proportional to velocity.

Okay you're talking about centripetal acceleration equaling gravity. That is fine and all, but I'm talking about the force of other planets on Planet earth which are considered outside forces to the system we are observing. The earth and the sun. If an outside force acts upon an object in orbit, it will make it leave it's orbit. Orbit is a very sensitive trajectory. You need the perfect velocity, to be continuously fall towards an object, but never reach it. This is how our satellites are injected into space. With me so far? I'd also appreciate it if you didn't lecture me about taking physics. I've taken 2 years of physics at the university level, because I am a computer engineer. i understand everything from basic mechanics, to electricity and magnetism to heat wave/ light optics according to western physics. So drop the condescension please. I am simply asking questions which aren't answerable by western physics. The concept of momentum is how much inertia an object has while it's moving right. Do you feel light as a weight when it hits you? Does it slow you down? The answer is no, so how can particles of light in a wave known as photons have momentum? Can you use light to slow down? The answer is no.
Just look at it simply. E=mc^2 should be a universal equation right. Even a third grader should be able to follow this. As speed becomes higher, mass has to become smaller in order to be the same energy. Which in turn means that no object with mass can reach the speed of light. If light is a wave of particles known as photons which have momentum (which means they have mass) but
The fact you are not understanding is that these equations you are babbling about are based upon the very thing I am questioning. Newtonian and Einsteins theories. There is a specific reason they are called theories and not facts.
