Mass, Force and acceleration are all linked by the same equation
A question including acceleration will often include, you need to understand this
So your point doesn't stand
@Syntax Alright then show me please how a massless beam of light can have a force

Right
you can if the wall is made of glass!
So if you shine a laser through a glass wall
The light will defract if it is at an angle
The light collides with the glass first at one part of the beam, causing a change in direction as there is some kind of resisting force
This force opposes the acceleration of the light
So the light accelerates slower on one part, and then angles based on the refraction index
The light will decelerate due to glass
So some kind of force must be resisting the light
And to have a resisting force like that, the light must have a force acting against the glass
Probably got some terms wrong in my explanation
But this what I've been taught
Usually it's written as F = ma
a=F/m is a rearrangement
@SeekingTruth then in which case light must have mass to have mass times acceleration to cause the force observed here

@SeekingTruth May I please see your WEIGHT of light please
Ha
Weight can't even exist without gravity, which I doubt you even believe in
@Syntax Funny that because Archimedes WEIGHED things almost 2000 years before gravity was invented
Buoyancy works off of weight
Sorry I want @SeekingTruth to first show me how light has mass with which to hold a force
You actually need to apply calculations to convert that to mass if you want to use it in other equations related to force
Afterall
convert to mass?
Weight is just force
So it's not mass is it?
Nope
No mass, no force
it's mass x acceleration
right no mass is ZERO
ZERO x anything = ZERO
But
You still do not believe in gravity
Science here, not belief
So you can't claim anything about Archimedes considering weight is just the mass x the acceleration due to gravity that the object is experiencing
@SeekingTruth WRONG, matter is measured in mols
WRONG
which is matter
``` mass is the amount of matter something has```
that's WRONG
