A photon with a frequency of about 10^14 strikes a 1 kg mass.
The mass would recoil slightly and change the gravitational field of fixed points in the space around it.Could this change in the gravitational field - which presumably is associated with a change in energy of the gravitational field at any given point in space - cause another photon nearby to change the orientation of its electric field vectors with respect to the 1kg mass?
