The quantum origins of gravity

Abstract

A description of photon wavelength changes in a medium, such as glass, shows it has the same origins as photon wavelength changes, i.e. redshift, in matter free space. Photon trajectories are deflected by changes in electric permittivity. The radial differential of the electric permittivity of space around a massive object gives Newton’s inverse square law as a first approximation and Einstein’s variation as a second approximation. The exact solution matches known, and predicts unknown, gravity properties. Changes in the electric permittivity of space deflects photons in the same manner as gravity. How particles generate changes in electric permittivity of matter free space is given. It shows why gravity affects all photons and matter particles equally. It indicates that photon deflection by changing electric permittivity generates gravity.
