    So the mass of the universe would suddenly become infinite?

      I thought photons didn't have any mass?

        No. But they do have energy, and that creates gravity in general relativity (if I understand it correctly).

        But also, you could have a Zeno's Paradox of particles - one with half the energy, one with 1/4th the energy, one with 1/8th...

    Allegedly. I was disappointed to find out this is theoretical and they did not actually cut a photon in two.
