It doesn't have mass or take up space.

<><><><><>

Light is energy, and energy is matter, according to Einstein. Besides, it has been proved that light is affected by Gravity and, in order to do that, it has to have mass. Look again at Einstein and others, such as Lorentz... The photon has no mass, or does it? True, it seems to have no mass, but that is at rest state. Multiply that by infinity to account for mass increase and time dilation due to traveling at the speed of light, and what do you get? Something that looks like a particle, having mass, traveling at the speed of light.

Is light is an example of matter?

No, light is not considered matter in the traditional sense. It consists of particles called photons, which are massless and do not have a fixed position in space. While light exhibits characteristics of both waves and particles, it is classified more as a form of energy rather than matter.


Is candlelight a matter?

Candlelight is a form of light produced by a candle that emits a warm, soft glow. In a philosophical sense, it can be considered as a form of matter since it is made up of atoms and molecules that emit energy in the form of light.
