The mass-velocity relationship prevents photons from having any mass.
Therefore, they cannot be affected by gravity.

If we follow the idea of ​​what a photon is (I remind you that it does

we
allocate to it is only an illusion due to the spatio-temporal structure

the universe) and the fact that it has NO proper time, and THEREFORE
that
it does not exist any more than a unicorn in my garden whose proper time
of existence would be zero.
How then could something that does not exist find the time necessary to
be
deflected by "gravity".

The photon is a quantum of energy instantly torn from its source (which

receiver,
IN the receiver's frame of reference.

In the source's frame of reference, the tearing is totally blind, and

For it, this event exists only in its own future, and therefore will

A white-hot iron placed alone in the universe could neither move (in

from it?).

Time cannot be an illusion because it compares rates of change. Change
would have to be an illusion for time to be an illusion. Are you Hindu?
