Because in a light beam time is infinite, and therefore mass has no weight, light particles has no weight!

Time does not accrue to light waves because they are massless.

E=MC^2/1-SQRT V^2/C^2

Because time has to pass for anything with mass between points a and b.
If light had a mass it could not travel @ C.

In a sense Light rides time for free.
For light no time passes between points a and b.
Because as anyone can planely see Light travels @ C.
