Hi:
Yes, from our reference frame the universe has
a mass of 10 to the 53rd KG, but light in the Geometric Universe is not
really, in an ultimate cosmic sense, in motion either.
Light is a condition or matrix from which we
are made, and in which we are embedded. Neither the light emanating source
nor the observer moves. We perceive movement in 4-D, because at our
dimensional level, we observe only cross-sections of time- we do not view
our whole existence at once.
Since the cross sections we observe
progressively are different, we interpret what we see as "motion" and
"Change". It's like living on "flatland" and not being able to comprehend
a sphere, only circles of changing size, as the sphere passes through our
"reality".
Mass as we understand it, and I want to stress
that, becomes infinite at the speed of light, and the concept of "mass"
cannot be understood from that frame, which is of course, dimensionally
different.
From our frame, we can experimentally determine
that the electromagnetic matrix is NOT actually infinite in mass, though
it is vast.
Every time we turn on a light bulb, we
accelerate matter to the speed of light. At least we add enough energy to
orbiting photon spheres to free some photons, which we then see and use to
illuminate the room.
I have a section in my site about relativistic
effects...they are interesting. The photon and momentum in GR are linked
concepts,(Dave Butterfield in Colorado Springs is very interested in this.
I don't have details, but he links momentum in GR with Doppler effects.) I
only can firmly state on the basis of experiment that photons and momentum
in GR exist and form the foundation of our reality.
