What you and the consensus believes is nonsense because the momentum
formula requires mass. Mass is a prerequisite. Massless particles would
have no momentum. You are very confused. You are arguing from authority
instead of reasoning. That is ad verecundium, a failure to reason.
Gravity does not couple with massless particles.
