Wrong, try again.

1) Solid research places error bars on photon mass at the 10^-17 eV
level. Consistent with zero.
2) Maxwell's equations have no mass coupling.
3) Proca's equations - Maxwell's equations for a massive photon - are
distinctly different from Maxwell's equations.

You were the one bitching about me giving the simple answer. In the
optics limit, Maxwell's equations do not matter so long as waves
travel along null paths.

If you want the exact answer, yea it's gonna be complicated.
Pretending it isn't is dishonest.

Why don't you prove your ability before making sweeping claims about
the physics community?
