Hello,
I understand light can be accelerated in a gravitational field, because it follows the curves in the spacetimecontinuum. Now I was wondering: does light itself also create a distortion in spacetime and thus attract other things? And are there experiments to confirm this? (E.g. two light beams attracting each other)
