The statement was made that nothing moves faster than the speed of light.
Then someone countered that the particles that light consist of must move
faster than the speed of light for light to exist and move at all. Do 
the particles that combine to make light actualy move faster than the speed 
of light?  Sort of like paving a road just ahead of the auto traffic 
as it arrives. Since the particles have density and mass, what propels them 
to move and how?
