Scientific paper

If the photon has a finite rest mass m, a filament of magnetic flux sustained by a partially ionized gas decays exponentially at a rate proportional to m2. Arguing from assumptions regarding the galactic magnetic field that are plausible though not yet rigorously established, we find an upper limit m<=3×10-56 gm, corresponding to a Compton wavelength of 6 lt yr.
