If neutrinos were massless then they'ld be photons. All radiations (photons, beta, alpha, missles, baseballs, etc) obey the dual particle/ wave nature of matter. The wavelength is dependent on the velocity and the mass. When the mass term is zero, you have a photon. Increasing the mass decreases the wavelength. Thats why Intel invented heavy ion lithography to replace the current X-ray lithography. They can make smaller transitors. Anyway, only massless particles can travel at c, and the only massless particle is the photon, according to the equation.
