Now if the photon has no mass, then either -
1) no force can be applied to bend the photon's flight path. For, F=ma, which means F= 0a = 0.
or
2) F=ma does not apply in relativity and the gravity field acts on the massless photon apart from F=ma. Yet such a mechanism is unknown to man.
Hence, if a photon has no mass, the relativity claim that gravitational lensing occurs due to the bending of the space time continuum (S-T), infers the S-T bending acts on a photon in a superstitious or magical manner, apart from all known physics. Hence if a photon does not have mass, relativity is a physics theory that requires magic to account for bent photon flight paths.
But, if the photon has mass, then
1) the S-T can bend the photons light path according to F=ma.
but then,
2) the photon cannot travel at c, for the mass of a particle at c is infinite according to the longitudinal mass = m/(1-v2/c2)3 = m/0. Likewise the energy of a photon would be infinite according to E = mc2 / sqrt(1-v2/c2) = mc2 /0.
