If photons are massless, why does light get attracted to black holes?

Photons have no rest mass.

But the quantity that determines how a thing gravitates, or responds to gravitation, is not rest mass.

It is a complex entity called the stress-energy-momentum tensor that consists of energy, momentum, pressure and shear stresses. (It is usually represented by a 4 times 4 symmetric matrix. It is not a simple number.)

Now it so happens that for most everyday objects, their speeds are small compared to the speed of light, and pressure and stresses are also small compared to relativistic mediums. So the stress-energy-momentum tensor is dominated by rest mass. When it comes to the Sun, the Earth, a lump of metal, a human being… gravitational behavior is very accurately (but not perfectly!) described using Newtonian gravity and their respective rest masses.

But the moment we get to relativistic speeds, this is no longer the case. Entities can no longer be characterized by rest mass alone; other components of the tensor become equally important.

In particular, a photon has no rest mass, but it carries plenty of energy, and it has momentum. Its stress-energy-momentum tensor is certainly not zero. So it can be a source of gravity, it has inertia, and it responds to gravity. But its behavior can no longer be described by Newtonian gravity, as evidenced, among other things, by the fact that relativity theory predicts (correctly, as confirmed by observation) twice the deflection angle for a photon in a gravitational field than the deflection of a Newtonian particle would be, moving at the same speed.

What is the smallest possible Distance in The Universe?

In physics, the Planck length, denoted ℓP, is a unit of length that is the distance light travels in one unit of Planck time. It is also the reduced Compton wavelength of a particle with Planck mass. It is equal to 5.72938×10⁻³⁵ m (Lorentz–Heaviside version) or 1.61623×10⁻³⁵ m (Gaussian version). It is a base unit in the system of Planck units, developed by physicist Max Planck. The Planck length can be defined from three fundamental physical constants: the speed of light in a vacuum, the Planck constant, and the gravitational constant. It is the smallest distance about which current, experimentally corroborated, models of physics can make meaningful statements. At such small distances, the conventional laws of macro-physics no longer apply, and even relativistic physics requires special treatment. The smallest possible size for anything in the universe is the Planck Length, which is 1.6 x10 -35 m across. It is impossible to determine the difference between two locations less than one ...

How do Ants sense Food?

S ugar has a slight odor, particularly granulated beet sugar. While all species of ants can differentiate between a wide variety of odors, the smelling range differs from a few centimeters to meters. Desert ants can smell sugar from up to 3 meters. the food sources that ants cannot smell from a distance they 'smell' it (contact chemoreception) by touching it. So in a way, all the food they detect, they detect it by smelling. So yes, ants smell (although contact chemoreception is more like taste) the sugar. The ant colonies send scout ants to search for food in various directions, often up to a range of 100 to 200 meters.(Depends on the territorial boundary and time of the year). The scout marches steadily in less circuitous paths initially if it has memories of previous feeder locations. (Ants use visual landmarks, and a stereo-smell system to create an odor map and navigate) Periodically it will halt and look for olfactory cues. It will then take into a more circuitous rando...

WATCH INSTAGRAM STORIES ANONYMOUSLY!!!?

If you want to see anyone's Instagram story without letting them know, If you've ever wanted to be a fly on the wall at an Instagram Story, then this blog post is for you. In this post, I'll tell you all about the best websites that will let you watch anyone's stories anonymously. In addition to that, you will not need to login into that website. Ahead of time, though, there are a few things that everyone should know before trying to spy on someone else's Instagram Stories. You need to have a bit of patience in order to make this work, given that there's always a chance that the one you're spying on could beat you to it. Most importantly, you can't expect this to work for every account that you try it on. There's also no way of knowing how much of the stories you'll actually be able to see and how long the access will last for. However, you cannot be able to see the stories of those who have a private account. below are the links to some websit...
