This is a much more complicated question than can be answered with a simple True or False.

Why do stationary or massless photons interact with gravity?
Intense gravitational waves shock the velocity of massless objects including photons or any other electromagnetic radiation carriers, and this is linked to Einstein's general theory of relativity and the gravitational lensing effect dictated by larger objects around which light velocity vector bends but its value remains invariant.
What moves as fast as light?
All electromagnetic radiation or massless particles are capable of moving as fast as light.
Can charged bodies exert forces even at a distance?
Yes. The gauge particles for the electromagnetic force are (massless) photons, so there's no distance limit to electromagnetic interactions.
What types of energy and matter does the sun release?
Radiant energy in the electromagnetic spectrum. Matter in the form of charged, uncharged and massless particles
Is light matter?
No, light is not an example of matter. It is an example of electromagnetic waves. However, it is considered that light is composed of photons (massless particles) as well as waves by quantum physics.

According to Einstein can the time be negative?
According to Einstein time was the fourth dimension and time was able to slow down and even stop.But not "negative" or best said backwords because this could only accur when traveling faster than light and according to Einstein nothing is faster than light because light is made of massless particles called photon. Hence free of any physical costrains.
Is there copper in microwaves?
No, microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiationand like all electromagnetic radiation is composed of massless particles called photons or is waves depending on how it is measured.Copper is a metal.
Can charged bodies exert forces even at a distance?
Yes. The gauge particles for the electromagnetic force are (massless) photons, so there's no distance limit to electromagnetic interactions.
How can you measure the mass of a photon?
One method is to determine the effectivity of the electromagnetic force over a distance. The electromagnetic force acts over an infinite distance and therefore the photon, the particle that mediates the electromagnetic force, is massless.

Radiant energy in the electromagnetic spectrum. Matter in the form of charged, uncharged and massless particles
What makes up radiant energy?
In most contexts radiant energy would be assumed to be made up of electromagnetic radiation, such as light. The force carrier for electromagnetic radiation is a massless fundamental particle, the photon.
What is first rank tensor and why and how any massless spin-2 field would be indistinguishable from gravitation?
A first rank tensor is called a vector. A massless spin-2 field would be indistinguishable from, or it would describe gravity, if its equations of motions are the Einstein field equations.
Does gamma radiation have no mass?
No Gamma Rays do not have mass. All electromagnetic radiation has no mass.
Why light don't travel at an infinite speed?
Because at infinite speed, it's mass will become zero, which is not possible as it consists of photons which are not massless particles.
Is light matter?
No, light is not an example of matter. It is an example of electromagnetic waves. However, it is considered that light is composed of photons (massless particles) as well as waves by quantum physics.
