In my opionion, It is more like a very tightly compacted wave, of which light is a part. When matter is released back to it original wave state it emites, heat wave, sound wave, and a full spectrum of radiation waves from micro, to light, to gamma and everything that surrounds that visible and invisible spectrum.

No, mass isn't spinning light. Light is an electromagnetic force, while mass is defined as the quantity of an object possessing inertia, and that pretty much means anything that's solid. The big scientific question today is, what causes mass?

Light is a electromagnetic wave, not force. It has no mass, and travel at speed of light:) (300000 km/s). Particles that have mass, like electrons or protons, have mass, and are patricles, but they spread as waves. Because of this they are thought of as light, they are special type of waves called de Broglie waves. This is where particle-wave theory kicks in. All particles with mass can not travel the speed of light.

Haha hehe light is radiation energy. ENJOY THE SOLAR HEAT WHILE YOU CAN, SOON NOTHING BUT NUCLEAR HEAT WILL COME.
