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

Gravity couples to eneregy-momentum (all 10 components of it), not

What you and the consensus believes is nonsense because the momentum
formula requires mass.

Mass is a prerequisite.

You are very confused. You are arguing from authority
instead of reasoning. That is ad verecundium, a failure to reason.
Gravity does not couple with massless particles.

I'm not pontificating. I'm only giving my opinion. At least I give
reasons for mine. If you had any idea what you were talking about, you
would give your reasons. Expressing your opinion without doing so is
pontificating. Until then, we have no evidence that you know what you
are discussing. Babylon: "pontificate[pon·tif·i·cate || pɑn'tɪfɪkət
