How relativity derives the amount of the deflection:

1. It accepts the mass-velocity relationship, which prohibits anything

mass.
2. Therefore, according to relativity, gravity cannot affect photons.

You don't know the basics of the theory. Mass is not the only tyhing
that couples to gravity, it's only one of 10 components.

Relativity either has to abandon the mass-velocity relationship or
abandon the claim that photons are affected by gravity. Until then, it
remains self-contradictory nonsense, as always.

No, you either should learn physics before posting on physics newsgroup
or
simply change your hobby.
