That never makes sense to me. It makes more sense to place a photon as a different energy version of the same type of thing. Electrons exhibit the same particle wave duality as photons, why are both not just particles in the same class, mediated by a force we don't yet have set down, and THAT force is what keeps everything at the speed of light, not light. That just seems right to me, so there must be lots im missing, right?
