Scientific paper

In the investigation attention is given to the finite spatial extent of the photon. It is shown that the photon could interact with the transverse gradient of the gravitational field to give a deflection additional to the well known gravitational deflection of general relativity. The suggestion is made that this deflection, even though it is extremely small, could be the basis for a much more important effect in which the photon can decay into three photons or possibly several photons with one or more gravitons.
