About the wave movement of the light
One of the most interesting details in the speed of light has a connection with the wave movement of the light. The wave movement means that photons would travel by using curving trajectories in the space, where they are traveling. The short wavelength means that the photon or every other particle is curving more often than if the wavelength is long. So the photon that uses a long-wavelength will reach the goal before the photon, which uses a short wavelength.
The short wavelength means that the photon is traveling a longer journey than the photon, which has a long wavelength. The photon is turning more often in the short-wavelength light, and that means the short-wavelength photon is looking slow, but the fact is that this photon just travels a longer time. When Isaac Newton invented that photon has particle but also wave movement form, that caused question why photon doesn't travel by using straight trajectories? This thing separates scientists from ordinary people.
They are always asking the question, why something happens as it happens? This thing that photons travel by using curving trajectories is the key to quantum physics. Quantum physics explains that the quantum fields or microgravitational waves are turning the trajectories of photons. And when the first time scientists notice the existence of the gravity lens they same time proves that gravity is affecting the light.
The final thing, that proved that gravity can pull the light inside the object was that the black hole was the first time found. When people are asking the classic question, what drops first in the black hole, stone, iron ball, or photon, we must say that gravity will affect every single particle in the universe in the same way. But the fact is that the point where the photon cannot escape is called the event horizon.
There is a theoretical possibility that in the universe is the so-called "tau star". The term "tau star" means massive object where the escaping velocity is precisely the same as the speed of the light. If that kind of thing will found, that thing would make one of the most interesting questions about physics possible: is it possible to make the "stable photon".
In this case, the photon is trapped on the surface of that theoretically possible but extremely unusual thing. Forming of that kind of object requires the extremely accurate mass of the object, that this thing might remain an only theory. Like some other theoretical objects like "Fermion stars", this thing is possible only in the very limited ranges of the masses of the stars.
