Abstract

A fundamental aspect in Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity” is the concept that the rest mass of photons equals zero. This concept makes it impossible that photons interact with a gravitational field. Einstein has solved this problem with General Relativity which has been based on a curved Space-Time continuum.
