Wikipedia: "A massless particle is a particle whose invariant mass is zero. Currently, the only known massless particles are gauge bosons: the photon (carrier of electromagnetism) and the gluon (carrier of the strong force)." "The behavior of massless particles is understood by virtue of special relativity. For example, these particles must always move at the speed of light. See Mass in special relativity." "General relativity implies that gravitation is quantized by the graviton, which is a massless tensor boson" How does an electromagnetic wave travel through nothing?
