You have a problem with that statement?


No. I think one would have to a good definition of energy to object to that. However, if a photon is not matter, unless you define matter in a particular way; could you also define energy in such a way as to be able to argue that a photon is energy?

Probably only a "hitch-hiker" would ask questions like; Is a photon matter? Is a photon energy? Is matter converted to energy in a nuclear reaction? and expect to get a clear answer.

There never was nothing.
