Duane,

This paper contains a sophisticated discussion of the Einstein concept of equating mass to all forms of energy, including kinetic energy and photon pressure as you have above.

Apparently no knows for sure whether photons or even electrons have mass.

Physics is getting less and less certain, at least in my mind.

Richard
