gonegahgah said:So if light creates gravity, and we seek to cede to QM, then is the photon an emitter of gravitons?
If it is a graviton emitter, does the photon carry its graviton(s) along with it or does it emit them in all directions like mass does?
Yes, if ever we have a nice theory unifying QM and GR, and if it does not differ too much from what we have now, then the photon will emit gravitons. In order to emit them, the photon does not need a graviton bag (funny concept, btw). Electromagnetic force between an electron and a proton is due to their interchanging photons. Although, they don't have a "photon bag". They're just... ehm... somehow created. I'm sorry I can't be more precise, neither is QM. I can tell you how to compute, but not where do the photons (or the gravitons for that sake) come from.
