I think you are confused. In Einstein's relativity photons (light
particles) have no mass. But they are effected by gravity due to it's

Since gravity has it's own particles (gravitons) analagous to photons I
would imagine the 'true' Gravity's Rainbow as made up of these.

Since gravity is a universal force independent of the existance of humans
or the Earth, it isn't too difficult to see it a messianic...
