| Light and the ultimate speed limit. -

Hi Guys,
I am working on a humble idea of my own and at the moment I am missing a mechanism to increase the energy of the electromagnetic spectrum (light) to the point that it will effect the shape of space (gain mass). If, as a particle has more and more energy poured into it to make it go faster it begins to change the shape of space around it in order to maintain the speed limit. It gains mass in short, and thus gravity comes into play compacting its relative and local space to prevent it going any faster. Is this a fair statement of what is happening?
If so then if light is given the urge to go faster (more energy) then will it not begin to compact space, gain mass and gravity to distort space to prevent the speed increase. Basically the extra energy begins to create matter instead of speed. My thought is that in the begining there was no lump of impossibly dense stuff just lying around waiting to go off, just a sudden energy burst that was of sufficient intensity to compact space until we got the creation of matter and all this untidy universe came into being. But, how could you possibly increase the energy in this wonderfully exciting and random place enough to create the matter. Is it probable enough that an intense enough source could produce enough energy to start intensifying the exsisting light by compacting the wavelength of light to the point it becomes a lump? I like the phrase "let there be light"
Ideas any one?
P.S. I am using the word 'light' here to define the electromagnetic spectrum and in this case I am talking about gamma and shorter wavelength energies Not visible light. |
