If light is one dimensional, yet has gravity, and gravity is the warpage of spacetime, and spacetime has four dimensions, then how does a one dimensional wave/particle warp multiple dimensions?
It does not.Mazeikas said:yet has gravity
It is not. The presence of mass warps spacetime. Light just follows the shortest path.Mazeikas said:gravity is the warpage of spacetime

Mazeikas said:Hello Drakkith! It is interesting we have received different perspectives regarding this, I thought a photon was one dimensional, I am not certain I am correct, but I think a lot of people believe this.
Mazeikas said:Could light exist in more than one dimension as a wave and in one dimension as a particle? With the direction of movement being one dimension, and the oscillation of the wave as another, is it reasonable to hypothesize that a wave exists in at least two dimensions?
One dimensional light does not have the ability to warp multiple dimensions. Light only travels in one dimension, which is the dimension of length. However, light can interact with objects and cause them to appear warped or distorted in our perception due to the bending of light rays.
No, one dimensional light can only exist and travel in one dimension. It is a fundamental property of light that it can only travel in a straight line, making it impossible for it to exist in multiple dimensions.
One dimensional light can interact with objects in higher dimensions through the process of reflection, refraction, and diffraction. When light hits an object, it can bend, bounce off, or pass through the object, causing it to appear distorted in our perception.
Yes, one dimensional light can be affected by gravity in higher dimensions. According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, gravity is the warping of space-time caused by massive objects. This warping can affect the path of light, causing it to bend and appear distorted in our perception.
The warping of multiple dimensions can affect the path of one dimensional light through the bending of space-time. This can cause the light to follow a curved path and appear distorted in our perception. The amount of warping depends on the mass and density of the objects in the higher dimensions.
