Can Light Influence Gravity and Act as a Gyroscope in Space?

In summary, the book 'Virgintell' proposes that light can be used to create a solid state gyro, as shown in a 3D computer simulated experiment where a light beam is sent across the universe. When the intensity of the light is increased, it successfully crosses the universe and distorts it by attracting the galaxies. The experimenter then creates a coil of hollow fibre optics and puts a large amount of light through it, causing the loose end to move like a hose and the coil to behave like a gyroscope. This technology is then used in space ships. However, it is noted that there is a fine line between science and science fiction, and this concept of a light inductor may be more science fiction than science

In the book 'Virgintell' which has a lot of seemingly high ideas about science there is the proposition that light can be used to make a solid state gyro. {not like an osciloscope}.

Summary.

In a 3D computer simulated experiment the developer tries to send a light beam across the universe. It doesn't go. So the intensity of the light is increased. It does go across.

The light is then turned to the maximum imaginable and the effect is to distort the universe by attracting the galaxies.[ Shearing says galaxies bend light so equally and oppositely the light must bend the galaxies path.]

This is noted and the experimenter has heard light is either a wave or particles...makes a massive coil of hollow fibre optics and puts a vast amount of light through it.

1. The loose end of the fibre optics moves around like a hose.
2. The coil shows the same behaviour as a gyroscope. It is then used in space ships.

Q. Is the above possible.

No. Theres a fine line between science and science fiction these days.

A light inductor! Brilliant!
 

1. How does light affect gravity?

Light does not have a direct effect on gravity. However, according to Einstein's theory of general relativity, light can be affected by the gravitational force of massive objects, causing it to bend and curve.

2. Can light create gravity?

No, light does not have the ability to create gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force of nature that is created by massive objects and their interactions with each other.

3. Does light have mass and does it contribute to gravity?

Light does not have mass in the traditional sense, as it is made up of massless particles called photons. Therefore, it does not contribute to gravity in the way that massive objects do.

4. Can light waves cancel out gravity?

No, light waves cannot cancel out gravity. While light waves can interact with the gravitational force, they do not have the ability to counteract or nullify it.

5. Is there a relationship between the speed of light and gravity?

Yes, according to Einstein's theory of relativity, the speed of light is a fundamental constant that is affected by gravity. As an object's gravitational force increases, the speed of light near that object will decrease.
