If I accelerate an electron which has a mass of 0.51Mev what I get is a PHOTON.But now the literature says this photon is massless.Also the starting material ,the electron has a spin 1/2,but the accelerated one which became a photon has spin one.
The gravitational potential dissappeared from the particle electron of mass 0,51 MEV as a Photon.Mass can not be destroyed,only can be converfted.So why the spin changed if this particle did not join any other particle?Why the particle became a wave?
