Hi, a while back i had ran into the equation for dynamic mass [M = m/√(1-(v^2/c^2))] and had immedietly taken an interest in it in that it seems to imply that for an object with mass moving at the speed of light its mass would become, virtually, infinite. Is this an erroneous assumption? If not, what would the implications for light itself be? Could the massless photon be explained by the idea that, because it moves at the speed of light, its mass has increased to such a point that the photon can no longer be distinguished as a discreet entity in so far as the measure of its mass is concerned?
