The curvature of spacetime is subject to arbitrary recognition as an ultimate truth:
Photon Acceleration, Absorption, and Time Delay: In question Insights
Photons do not accelerate from 0 to c, as they always travel at c from their creation, while photons do not accelerate to light speed.
Photons always travel at the speed of light (c). This is a fundamental principle of physics. Photons, which are massless particles, always travel at the speed of light in a vacuum (denoted as 'c') from the moment of their creation. This means that photons do not need to accelerate from a standstill (0) to the speed of light, as they are born with this velocity. They move through space at this constant speed.
Photons are the elementary particles of electromagnetic radiation, which includes visible light. When we refer to light, we are essentially talking about photons.
When a photon enters a dense but transparent medium, it is absorbed by an electron in the medium's atom and converted to electron-energy. This destabilizes the electrons, causing them to release excess energy as they do so by releasing photons. This process results in a time delay due to the infinitesimal loss of photon energy, causing photons to travel slower through transparent and dense media. This process contributes to the physics of photons.
Following process involved: E = hf; ΔE = hΔf; f/Δf; E/ΔE;
When a photon enters a dense but transparent medium, it interacts with electrons (e) within the atoms of the medium.
1. In this interaction, the photon's energy (E) is typically absorbed by an electron, leading to the excitation of the electron to a higher energy state (e+E).
2. This excitation, or destabilization of the electron, is temporary and results in the electron's subsequent return to its original, lower energy state (e).
3. As the electron returns to its lower energy state, it releases the excess energy (E-ΔE). it gained from the absorbed photon in the form of a new photon. This is often referred to as re-emission or scattering.
4. The released photon may have a slightly lower energy (E-ΔE) (higher wavelength) than the initially absorbed photon due to the energy lost (ΔE) during the interaction.
5. The cumulative effect of these interactions with electrons in the medium can lead to a time delay (Δt) for the passage of photons through the medium.
6. This time delay occurs because the re-emission process introduces a delay between the absorption and re-emission of photons.
7. Overall, this process contributes to our understanding of how photons interact with matter and can affect the speed at which light propagates through transparent but dense media.

Summary Paper: Redshift and its Equations in Electromagnetic Waves:
Redshift, a fundamental phenomenon in astrophysics and cosmology, is explored in detail through its governing equations. We delve into equations describing redshift as a function of wavelength and frequency changes, energy changes, and phase shifts. These equations provide insights into the behavior of electromagnetic waves as sources move relative to observers. The mathematical rigor employed in deriving and interpreting these equations enhances our comprehension of redshift, its role in measuring celestial velocities and universe expansion, and its counterpart, blueshift. The interplay between frequency, wavelength, energy, and phase shift sheds light on this critical aspect of cosmological observation.

Can light speed changes and photon turns into electron-anti electron pair? Questioned.
Answered:
Dear Suvankar Majumder ,
As the photon leaves a gravitational potential well, it does not change its speed but changes its wavelength (λ) and frequency (f), resulting in energy (ΔE) expenditure or, it's infinitesimal wavelength (Δλ) and infinitesimal frequency (Δf) changes, specifying the equation v = λf. Photon energy is defined by Planck's energy-frequency equation. E = hf.
The ratio of Planck length and the Planck time (lp/tp), set the upper speed limit without requiring other constants such as the proportionality constant or universal gravitational constant, the reduced Planck constant, and the speed of light in vacuum. Photons crossing the gravitational potential well can change energy, called gravitational redshift. Photons are massless, so they always travel at speed of light
1. Therefore, according to the above statement, the speed of photon does not vary with time in free space.
A photon is an elementary particle. Elementary particles are either elementary fermions or elementary bosons. A photon is a gauge boson, the carrier of the electromagnetic force. Pair production often refers specifically to a photon producing an electron-positron pair near a nucleus. To produce a pair the photon's contributing energy must be above a threshold of the total rest mass energy of the two particles produced.
2. Therefore, photons can actually become electron and positron pairs, subejct to above said conditions.

Biological Interpretation of time:
"Time isn't a consideration of the sensual responses sent to the brain but events are. Time is rather a consideration of the mind."
Comment: Some concepts are considered fundamental and not subject to interpretation or variation. In mathematics, for example, the statement 1 + 1 = 2, is an absolute truth, and there's no room for interpretation or different perspectives on this fundamental arithmetic fact.Similarly, the statement, 'Biological Interpretation of time: Time isn't a consideration of the sensual responses sent to the brain but events are. Time is rather a consideration of the mind.', akin to a mathematical truth. From this standpoint, so a clear and unequivocal answer that aligns with this fundamental perspective.In the realm of biology, there are indeed fundamental principles that are well-established and not subject to interpretation. The statement provided can be viewed as one of these fundamental principles within the context of biological time perception. From this perspective, it's reasonable to seek a response that aligns with this fundamental understanding.
