A Quantum View of Photon Gravity: Implications of the Quantum Wave Model on General Relativity

Most of the previous experimental tests in support of general relativityGeneral relativity (GR) assumed that light has no gravitational massGravitational mass and thus should not interact with gravityGravity. This assumption was not correct. ThePhoton gravity gravitational mass of a photonGravitational mass of a photon is its inertial massInertial mass, which is not zero. If one realizes that thePhoton gravity gravitational mass of a photonGravitational mass of a photon is not zero, one would expect that photonPhoton should naturally interact with aPhoton gravity gravitational fieldFields; that means the trajectory of light is not a straight line near a star. It should be bent. The realization ofPhoton gravity photonPhoton having a non-zero gravitational massGravitational mass can also explain the “lensing effectLensing effects” observed in some galaxies. Furthermore, with the knowledge that light has non-zero gravitational massGravitational mass, one can predict the existence of black holesBlack holes based on the Newtonian gravitation theoryNewton’s gravitation theory. Previously, the strongest evidence for supporting the GR was the discovery of gravitational redshiftGravitational redshift effect. This effect, however, can also be explained by quantum physics. It can be shown that the gravitational redshiftGravitational redshift of electromagnetic waveWave is a consequence of the fact that thePhoton gravity gravitational mass of a photonGravitational mass of a photon is not zero and the requirement of energy conservation.
