Why charges pull, and push

A photon is the smallest piece of light. Each drawing here is one photon trapped, like before.

The drawing on the right swooshes its waves out across all the space. Big waves up close, smaller and smaller far away.

The masses to the left are surfing those waves. The side near the big drawing always rides a bigger wave than the side far away. So closest wins!

Each little mass drawing wears dark green where space is squeezed shortest, the side by the other mass, and yellow where space runs longest farther out.

Opposite spin direction or "charges" surf toward each other. Same spin directions they surf apart.

What is mass? A photon is the smallest piece of light. Light always goes straight, as fast as anything can go, and it hides the space behind it.

If a photon gets curled into a loop it goes around and around, and it keeps hiding the space inside. That trapped light is what we call mass. Everything you can touch is made of trapped light. Inside (left): the photon runs around and around and hides the space in the middle.

Outside (right): you cannot see the hidden space at all, only a dot. But all the lines of space around it lean in toward it. That leaning is how you can tell something is there, and it is what makes things fall (next page).
