TL;DR
This paper proposes a solution to a longstanding problem about the gravitational interaction of light pencils by suggesting that light can generate nonlinear gravitational waves associated with spin-1 particles in a quantum gravity context.
Contribution
It introduces a novel perspective that light can produce nonlinear gravitational waves, addressing the classical problem of the lack of attraction between parallel light beams.
Findings
Light can be a source of nonlinear gravitational waves.
Parallel light pencils can exhibit gravitational attraction.
The approach links classical gravity with quantum spin-1 particles.
Abstract
A solution of the old problem raised by Tolman, Ehrenfest, Podolsky and Wheeler, concerning the lack of attraction of two light pencils "moving parallel", is proposed, considering that the light can be source of nonlinear gravitational waves corresponding (in the would be quantum theory of gravity) to spin-1 massless particles.
