Does a photon have a gravitational field? I don't think so because it cannot produce any shadow effect into ether since it is not a matter wave which absorbs and re-emits ether waves.

Is it correct to say that (1) the matter waves of the macroscopic object have collapsed given its interaction with the environment and that (2) the matter of macroscopic object is still a wave, even if we can’t detect it?

Would using entangled particles for the double slit experiment change the result? If you check the spin of one the entangled particles while the other is shot at the slits. Would there be an interference pattern?
