It wasn't carrying "momentum" (if you will) after I let go, for whatever reason.
This portion of the weapon derived its utility from the fact that light waves had no mass but did carry momentum.
Objects without a rest mass, such as photons, also carry momentum.
These carry energy and momentum but have no mass.
The radiation from a charged particle carries energy and momentum.
So by 1864, the physics community and beyond knew sunlight carried momentum that would exert a pressure on objects.
At most, they can carry momentum after issues have generated it.
Tiger put himself in a position to cash in, did so, and will be carrying that momentum into this season.
Even though photons (the particle aspect of light) have no mass, they still carry momentum.
Particles of light, or photons, have no mass, but they carry momentum.
