n a race to the moon, by 3/4ths the distance, light is one or ten meters ahead of the particle.  We routinely approximate mass as zero, gamma as infinite, and speed as the speed of light.  ("Massless particles" -- gamma and m have to be eliminated from the expressions.  Light is a true massless particle.) If a massless particle has momentum 1,349 MeV/c, calculate its energy in MeV.
