    If you would avoid putting words in my mouth like "con," I would
    appreciate it. Then, you might begin to engage in intelligent discourse.
    If you are defending relativity, you should be able to explain the contradiction. You have not defended it from this criticism. What do you believe? Do photons have mass, or do they not? Can you make up your
    mind?

    Maybe it's simply part of halving- and doubling- spaces
    and halving- and doubling- measures in continuum mechanics,
    with regards to the continuous and discrete.

    Sometimes you hear physicists say something like
    "there's no infinity in physics" and it seems
    among the most ludicrous and ignorant of opinions.
    I would agree that there is infinity in physics, especially considering
    there is no evidence of any limits to the universe.

    I don't connect much with Antonio Leon's stuff about the continuous and discrete.

    But that is opposite of what Einstein said. Einstein said the the source
    of gravity is the energy.

    But, I'm saying the source of gravity is the mass.

    "Abstract
    General relativity (GR) is the geometric theory of gravity that has
    become the accepted definition of gravitation in modern
    physics. GR proposes that gravity is the result of a geometric
    distortion of four-dimensional spacetime by massive objects.
    The more mass that produces gravity in a body, the more distortion you
    get. This distortion supposedly changes the trajectories of objects
    moving through space and even the paths of light rays as they pass close
    by massive objects.
    Unfortunately, general relativity is a fatally flawed theory that is a diversion from how gravity really works. This study explains in detail
    the logical errors, false assumptions, and misinterpretation of evidence
    upon which GR is based. Geometric spacetime does not exist, does not
    curve, and cannot possibly interact with or be affected by gravity...................... Inconclusive Results
    No one seems to have taken parallax into consideration. Parallax is a difference or change in the apparent position of a celestial object as
    seen from different points on the Earth’s surface [8-13]. It is a
    natural phenomenon caused by viewing stars from different angles at
    various locations on the globe and can also be affected by atmospheric
    and seasonal conditions at those locations. Parallax alone could account
    for discrepancies in readings between Oxford and Principe, between
    Principe and Sobral, and between Sobral during the eclipse and Sobral
    two months afterward."

    You don't know the basics of the theory. Mass is not the only tyhing
    that couples to gravity, it's only one of 10 components.

    Relativity either has to abandon the mass-velocity relationship or
    abandon the claim that photons are affected by gravity. Until then, it
    remains self-contradictory nonsense, as always.

    No, you either should learn physics before posting on physics newsgroup
    or
    simply change your hobby.

    Unsolicited advice is worthless. Deplatforming is a defense tactic of ideologues. That relativity is an ideology has been demonstrated by
    Peter Hayes in "The Ideology of Relativity: The Case of the Clock
    Paradox."

    What components couple with gravity that have no mass? Photons, Higgs
    bosons, and what else? Particles without mass? I certainly don't accept
    that nonsense.
    That you think anything but mass couples to gravity disqualifies you.
