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?
