from electron-positron annihilation.
The conservation is determined by m = E/c^2.
This formula gives *relativistic* mass. Not *rest* mass. This is easily
shown by considering the simple fact that E increases with velocity - so
m = E/c^2 increases with velocity, too.
---------------------
good for you
now you will start to understand that the photon is a special case
*IN WHICH THE GAMA FACTOR *DOES NOT APPLY TO **
Since this is still a totally unsupported assertion, I don't see why
I should try to understand this.
nothing can increase neither the velocity of a photon nor its energy.!!
or its mass.
Right. So what???
th e moment you chnged its energy
by an *extrnal action of energy* -it is notanymore the orriginal photon
is is another one.!!!.
How do you plan to change the energy of a photon "by an external action
of energy"? Inverse Compton effect, or what? And why is that in any way
relevant to the question if the gamma factor "applies" to the photon or not?
----------------------
it is a very important point
so i will trry to explain it better to myself (!!!!) and to others
actually the idea that once you axert on a photon by say
anotrher photon or let it collide with another particle or matter-
it becomes *another photon* is even new to ..... myself!
it just occured to me lately during the duscussions i saw
for instance your claim that while E increases- the mass of *the photon*
increases!!
at the first glance it seemed to me logic
but later i sayed to myself and asked myself:
is it realy posible that a photon will change its energy?
impossible !
it can change its energy only if .... something external to it
will contribute to it energy1(or deprive it from some of its energy)
now how is that done?
it is done by say collision with it *by somethinjg else*
i cant see it been done *spontaneously*(we talk about a photon!)
now once something is coliding it *it is changed*!
and once it was changed it is not anymore the orriginal photon!
(the identity card' of a photon is its frequency -
once it changes its frequency- it is no more the orriginal photon.)
now i can understand that the *resulting photon* can have
more or even less energy (in some cases there might be even more than
one outputed photon due to the reaction that took place
IOW it is much more complicated than what it looks for the first glance.
-----------
do i make sense ?
i ask because those arguments are as i sayed new even to myself!

because noting can add to it more velocity than C and more mass
than it has orriginally.
Right. So what???
[snip more of the same]
mass cannot be created from nothing
Right - but from energy.
and mass cannot *disapear* or become something else
Wrong. It can become energy.
it is one of the most
fundamental entities of nature that is invariant
Completely unsupported assertion.
