Dr Ameen,

Your ignoron idea has at least one fatal inconsistency with hard experimental data: photons are affected by mass, as described in GR and validated in numerous experiments to an accuracy approaching ppm (e.g. gravitational redshift; deflection of photons as they pass a compact, massive body, including lensing).

You also state: "However there is not any definite experiment to demonstrate the reverse process where the ENERGY is seen being converted to MASS?!. There is, it's called pair-production, and is very well established, both theoretically and experimentally.
