Light as mechanical properties

In my previous thread: Postulate for black holes, I decribed light as having mass. I wish to expand upon that. Imagine, a black hole having an infinately massive center, but all matter is accelerate to the speed of light, so there is no matter in a balck hole. Well, if energy is what creates this intense gravitational bend in spacetime, then that means energy has mass. In free form, it is immeasurable as shown in various experiments, but in a concentrate form, indeed it does.

Now, since matter has mass and therefor bends spacetime (planet, for example), then light/energy that also has mass, should bend spacetime (to a much lesser degree though). Now the trickey part: If light and gravity travel at the same speed, then the bend in spacetime must only be present exactly under the light ray. Not nessecarily, I mean, further research into my postulate on the other thread (that I took great care not to mention) reveals speeds to excellerate greater than that of C and that gravity has a pull equal to a certain slope in the spacetime bend. There is a threshold I found where the speed of gravity actually changes to be greater than C when the slope increases to a certain degree. But this threshold is an incredibly steep angle and light is near weightless, so I estimate there is another threshold, this one for lighter-than-measureable objects. The angle of slope must be so shallow that the speed of gravity is actually a little slow than C. So like the wake of water behind a low-flying supersonic aircraft, the gravity wake begins just behind the particle of light.

Did he say particle of light? Yes I did. It was a dying theory in the 19th century, but it makes surprisingly perfect sense. Many think of light as waves, as much they are to the untrained observer. Imagine a ping pong ball bouncing on the floor. It travels in an absolute value cosine wave, but is in fact an object. Now, assuming light consists of highly charged particles, we can expand the limitations the wave theory set on light.

Now these particles have have charges (like electrons), create polarities, repel, attract, gain and hold energy, repel and expel energy, and work. I will post followups ot this once I figure out exactly what I want to say, but until then, respond on what I assume so far.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
