Massless Momentum Paradox

Massless Momentum Paradox

Physics students everywhere making this exact face when they hit that quantum physics curveball. "P=MV but M=0? What sorcery is this?!" The universe really said "rules are more like guidelines" with this one. Photons pull off the ultimate physics flex - no mass but still packing momentum thanks to their wave-particle duality. Even Thanos can't snap away this quantum paradox. The formula still works if you use E=pc instead, but that first moment of cognitive dissonance hits harder than a particle accelerator to the brain.
