Think of it like a right triangle: as your momentum decreases, Energy becomes dependent on how much mass you have. As you lose mass, Energy becomes dependent on how much momentum you have. This explains why massless particles can travel the speed of light, yet particles with mass can only get really close to the speed of light.
Do massless particles actually not have mass? Or is it just that their mass is negligible? I thought particles, by definition, had mass.
Yea, they actually don't have mass.
Then how the hell do they have momentum?
