Look, I am familiar with einstein's work, and the mass-energy equivalence principle, and the idea that even LIGHT exhibits gravitational properties.
I've looked at other threads on the forum, but there is one crucial thing that really needs to be answered:
has light been EXPERIMENTALLY VERIFIED to exhibit gravitational properties? -or any instance of 'mass' that is not hard matter (ie made up of leptons,) that has its own gravitational field?
because, look, I am looking at a theoretical system that suggests that force-carriers CAN act as conducive to a material bodies' gravitational field, but IN THEMSELVES and INDEPENDENT of a material body, force-carriers DO NOT have their own gravitational field.
So, please, if anyone can explain to me or prove to me that light, (or anything that isn't fundamentally made up of leptons,) DOES INDEED exhibit the property of gravity, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me
because otherwise, I am fighting with einstein on this one. without the experimental (or observational) verification, it is JUST theory and not proven FACT
thank you, in advance-- it means a lot to me
