This theory of photonic mass is incorrect. Theories of photons are 100 years old and mostly centered around shaky postulates such as relativity.

An object cannot have no mass but have energy. A photon is a result particle with a form that exists outside the currently observable universe.

That is also why the universe did not "appear" from nothing. There are other, currently unobserved frames with physical laws that may not correspond to the frame in which we live.
