The speed of light likewise tops out at c, and it is due to the same relationship: Since mass and energy are equivalent, accelerating even a single photon beyond the speed of light is kinetically impossible.
There are better reasons and explanations, but I think this is about as simple as it gets.

Using the same equations, how could a photon be so small? If they are going the speed of light and they are mass, then by the standard models' equation; the photons should be almost infinite in size!!!!!!!
Seems to me that the equation itself says it's wrong,
or there is no such thing as a photon in light.
I prefer the latter of the two.
