 Hey Steve, which is what I call my son Stephen, ya' just gotta teach
 this old man "how cum" something which has no mass, has no momentum!
 Likewise, splain "how cum" an object with mass at rest has no momentum!
 And not to be smart, but this one is going to be extra hard to splain,
 for the simple reason that the mass of any object is NEVER at REST,
 right?
 Inquiring minds want to know!  :)
 So let's get picky...nit!  ;)))))))
Just another humble servant of The Kingdom.......clarence.......
