How Gravity Affects Photons

The fact that neutrinos are smaller than photons is key to understanding how photons are affected by gravity.

In the sea of zero-point particles, everywhere present in space, neutrinos have the same advantage that red photons have over blue photons in transparent media. Neutrinos roll past obstacles more directly than photons.

Obstacles in space includes zero-point photons. Neutrinos can therefore overtake photons as they slalom through space.

The fact that neutrinos can overtake photons in a race trough space was demonstrated and confirmed a few years back, but has later been demented by the researches who performed the experiment. However, in the Velcro model, neutrinos must be able to do this in order to affect photons correctly with regards to gravity.

Although both the neutrino and the photon travel at the speed of light, neutrinos always has a slightly shorter route to travel. In a race between photons and neutrinos, neutrinos come out the winner, just like red photons always end up the winner over blue photons in a race through a transparent medium.

It should also be noted that neutrinos communicate their information with other neutrinos. Incoming neutrinos are informed of the presence of massive bodies through collisions with outgoing neutrinos.

Photons do not move through an empty space, but a space filled with neutrinos carrying information about the location and size of nearby objects. This information includes the presence of photons.

Collisions between neutrinos carrying information about a photon, and neutrinos carrying information about a nearby massive object, create under-pressure in the exact same way under-pressure is created by collisions between neutrinos carrying information about massive objects.

This means that neutrinos affect photons in the same way they affect inertial matter.

What applies to inertial matter regarding gravity applies to photons as well.

However, photons behave slightly different from inertial matter under the influence of gravity.

Unable to slow down, outgoing photons have no choice but to loose some of their energy through shrinkage, so outgoing photons experience a red-shift.

Incoming photons on the other hand cannot speed up, so they have to blue-shift in order to keep their speed constant.

It is only when photons travel parallel to a gravitational field that they behave exactly like inert matter. In such cases, they will bend towards the massive object as if space was curved.

However, there is no curved space. All that is happening is that neutrinos interact with photons in the exact same way that they interact with massive objects.
