Your light yo-yo theory won’t quite work because light is massless, but apparently they are also finding that it is massless for certain qualities but has mass for others, which once again is super weird.

The problem with light being massless is the lensing effect.

If light is massless, then why does it bend around galaxies? Why are scientists saying that the gravitational effect of galaxies bends the light of objects behind it?

If a galaxy can bend light, then why can't the entire mass of the universe bend light, too?
