So, a mass-less collision with a photon is possible. During the process the photon gain mass as its ψ changes to counter the impact. At the extreme, the photon has the mass of a proton.
mρphc2=mρpoc2−∫xa0ψdx0
where xz=0 and
∂F∂x=maximum=−∂2ψ∂x2
such that,
ΔF=−∂2ψ∂x2Δx
At xz=0, a change in Δx encounters a maximum change in force density. ψ deformed and the photon gained mass, but at which point (xz=0), a change in x results in the largest change in F and the photon readily returns to its original form. There is no new equilibrium/stable point.
