In this video I test whether or not you can push things with light! I talk about whether or not light has mass. Instead of tying a fly to a string (previous lassoing a fly video), I make an apparatus in the vacuum chamber that can measure the push of light! And if it doesn't have mass how could it push things, and could you weigh light on a scale?

The Action Lab The Action Lab is a channel dedicated to performing exciting experiments and answering questions you never thought to ask! I'll put things in my hydraulic press, vacuum chamber and perform countless other experiments just to watch cool phenomenon. I experiment on the world and objects around me. You'll be so amazed that you'll forget you are even learning anything! Please enjoy as I continually answer the "what would happen if..." questions you have. Feel free to comment with any scientific questions you have about anything. I have made my career as a PhD in Chemical Engineer and now I want to share how awesome science and experimentation can be!
