A photon is charge neutral so there is no attraction due to charge. However all forms of energy/density including photons can produce mass if of sufficient value. For that you will need to apply the energy momentum tensor.

 

(string theory already takes the above under consideration)

Key note inertial mass but not invariant mass

OP was asking about electrons, not photons.

Mordred, are you referring to electrons or photons? He has another thread re: bundles of photons attracting electrons.

yeah got the two threads mixed up. Grandkids are at house providing distractions lol

Are electrons affected by a gravitational feels.

is the question

Best kind of distraction! I have none yet, but I have five daughters ages 12-23, so I anticipate a boatload of them as time goes by.
