To me, there are only two ways for something to have momentum:

1. The object has mass and can have momentum and since it has mass it
can exist on its own and does not require a medium in order for it to
maintain its momentum.
2. The object is a wave, or a burst, that travels through a medium.

How can something without mass exist in a void (i.e. exist in
nothing), let alone travel through it?
