What is Gravity
by
Vernon Brown
Consider that mass is composed of photons as described in What is Mass and the photon theory of matter. Each photon has associated with it positive and negative electric fields and magnetic fields. The fields consist of two equal but opposite half cycles which cancel when photons move in a straight line. The fields radiate from a center point of maximum amplitude as in the classic photon model. This center point always moves at the photon's natural speed, the speed of light.
When trapped in resonant patterns to become mass, photons still radiate the fields. These fields radiate outward from a center point of each of the photons. Amplitude of the fields diminish as they move outward from the mass. The fields are two weak to interact with matter except at very close proximity to their central path through space. Since they can't interact with matter, they extend right through matter. The fields continue to move outward forever and travel at the speed of light. These fields cause gravity as shown below.
Max Planck showed in 1900 that photon energy is constant for any certain wave length of light. The wave length, however, is infinitely variable, smoothly over the full range of the electromagnetic field. These two facts make clear that the electromagnetic amplitude of a photon is always a certain value that does not change. If the amplitude did change it would need be a part of
| Photon fields, diminished in amplitude, still exist in all of space. These fields are more dense toward massive sources of the fields. A photon moving through the fields must reach its peak amplitude at an offset toward increasing field strength. |

Remember that Planck's Constant is a property of space. It represents the positive and negative amplitude limit of an electromagnetic disturbance in space, as shown in the above paragraph. No point in space can exceed this amplitude limit. Another fact leading to the cause of gravity.
A photon moving through radiated fields (photon flux) of other photons must then reach its positive and negative amplitude limits taking into account the existing photon flux. Because of this each photon's point of maximum amplitude is offset toward increasing field strength of the photon flux. That is the cause of gravity. It cannot possibly be otherwise.
Massive objects, comprised as they are of field-radiating photons, must gravitate toward each other because of the saturation offset of photons. This is one way of looking at gravity in a photonic universe.
When a photon interacts with matter, it chooses some electron or structure within the matter that has a favorable phase relationship. The place in the matter where this exists need not be on a direct center line with the photons path. Any part of the photon that can interact will bring all of the photon's energy to bear at the interacting point. We do not know just exactly what this means for field remnants that are too far removed from the central path. Perhaps the lost remnants go on through space forever as gravity. And, maybe this is why we observe strange behavior in light. Maybe the energy loss shows up as a red shift.
