I would be very interested in learning more about these "certain QED
equations", as I have never come across them until now. There is a
relationship that deduces the photon as the only zero rest mass quanta,
but this only applies to bosons. The neutrino, as you know, is a lepton,
and is not bound by this QED relationship.
If you have any references that may help to resolve this issue, I
would be most appreciative.
Regards,
Chris.
