Why don't bytes or thoughts have mass, or do they?

At what point is something massless?

Well, I think if something can attain the speed of light, it's massless.

When it's energy... but then massless isn't a particularly helpful concept since energy has relativistic mass... but then trying to completely separate the concepts of mass and energy is sort of... misleading ...nevermind.

The answer you give will depend upon whether you are a dualist or a monist.

Without mass, there can be no thought. So, what is reality?
