A question about gravity and photons

Think about it.
Your post above makes it easy.

Acceleration due to change in velocity caused by anything will produce more relativistic mass. More gravity.

So what were you saying?

I thought mass was a constant.

Regardless of velocity.

He's wanting to look at it as it approaches the speed of light to try to justify other stuff

So like a photon has no mass; an object (at the speed of light) would not have any mass either?

NO.
Any change in velocity effects inertial mass. Even minor ones.

Wanna argue semantics, your DEAD wrong on that one.

Not enough to even calculate... it's negligible.

....but, if it makes you feel better, yes, it will affect it... not enough to matter though

at the speed of light, it would have an infinite mass.... a big ole booger!

Waitaminute, a photon doesn't have infinite mass, yet there was discussion that a photon contained "resting mass" (?), yet at the speed of light, it has no mass.

Without bringing in quantum mechanics, the easy answer is E=mc2 is decieving. Its actually better to use the relativistic energy momentum equation.

E^2 - (pc)^2 = (mc^2)^2 were p is momentum.

The momentum for an object is proportional to its mass. Even massless particles can have momentum because they have energy. Really high energy in some cases like cosmic rays.

Can gravity been seen as a potential energy?

Ya its not like explaining how relativistic mass works on the smallest scales would give us an all encompassing quantum gravity theory or anything.

Your embarrassing yourself.

NO.
A force is not potential energy.

According to Einstein gravity is JUST geometric bending of space time, and not really in the sense that the others are considered.

But mainstream particle physics thinks this is only partly true, and that it is a force like the others carried by the boson called the graviton. Hence the elephant.

No, I'm definitely not, however, you're doin a pretty good job of it with your own self

see, you DO realize that Gravity is a force, not an acceleration

Yet momentum and velocity can be affected by gravity, yes?

The force of gravity itself has no mass.

It is the expression of mass.

Isn't it?

Your avoiding the science, and just talking now. Go away if your not going to refute the facts.

The EFFECT of Gravity can create Potential Kinetic Energy in any Falling Object but as Gravity is Space/Time Curvature...it will change the Space/Time surrounding a Celestial Body of sufficient mass to the point that Quantum Particle/Wave Forms such as Photons or Light to travel that Curvature toward the Gravity Well.

In essence Light is not be FORCED into say a Black Hole but rather traveling at 186,300 mps...just as usual and not changing direction or vector as the 4-D distance and Space/Time relationship between the Black Hole and the Photons is being changed. This is why GRAVITY IS NOT A TRUE FORCE as the Photons are NOT FORCED in their direction through Space/Time....but rather it is Space/Time that is CHANGING.
