The video explores the concept of light not having mass, despite having energy and momentum. It explains nuclear fusion in the Sun, where mass is converted to energy, and discusses the equivalence of mass and energy through E=mc^2. The video delves into relativity, showing how light is affected by gravity and can create gravity. It also covers inertia and momentum, clarifying that light has momentum but not infinite inertia. The video concludes with responses to viewer comments and hints at future content.
