I don’t have that equation.
Replacing GR or trashing GR may not be the right words. In my response to you on another thread I said, “These ideas have to be considered speculation, but it is responsible speculation that would change GR if true. It might not change the accuracy of the GR predictions and EFEs, but with the existence of a greater universe with different energy density environments (consisting of arenas like I predict), GR would have to be revised, and space time would have to be reconsidered.

Photon mass is a discussion that has to take place. The only place that I mention it is where you picked up the quote from my earlier post. But in the ISU, anything that forms from the energy density of space is denser than the energy density of the space from which it forms. Therefore anything that travels through the energy density of space will follow the energy density fluctuations (low energy density caused by mass). That includes photons.

However photons differ in that they don’t exert gravity themselves like other mass that is composed of atoms. It is the electron/proton relationship that is responsible for gravity and the photon does not have that relationship. Therefore mass is accelerated in a gravitational field because mass is both affected by and exerts gravity. A photon is affected by a gravitation field because a gravitational field is a low energy density fluctuation surrounding mass that causes the path of photons to follow it like “curved” space, but photons do not contribute any curvature themselves and so they pass through the gravitational well in a straighter path.
