Is it possible that light creates gravity?

If that is the case then it will be measurable using scales.

Or maybe it is just our electrons that aren't in opposition to our environment so it only feels like we are weightless. In that case, it wouldn't be measurable with a scale. There are unknown variables in the mechanics of that particular process, but my theory of gravity seems very clear to me.

Well then wouldn't gravity (light) act more on larger bodies (such as the earth) than on smaller bodies (such as people)?
If that was the case, then the gravitational force (light) would push the earth more than it would push people and we would fall off!
Nothing can be explained using your theory because you don't have a mathematical model.
Lets just say that you are right and we should all stop using the current gravity model. What next? How do we now calculate gravity? Do we just pretend that it is unable to be calculated because someone wanted to change the model for no particular reason?
OP I don't believe science knows everything, and I think it has it's own shortcomings, but our current model is usable and yours is not so I will stick to our current model, thanks.edit on 21/2/12 by GobbledokTChipeater because: (no reason given)

If that were true, then the amount of gravity something pulls with (measured in "g"s) would be greater the more photons striking it. Gravity is entirely dependent upon mass, not photons. According to your hypothesis little Mercury would have more gravity than Jupiter say, because Jupiter is further out than Mercury and less photons hit it. Woops. Sorry if someone already said this.
Edit: I think someone needs to go to the fair and ride a tilt a whirl.

Technically its 30000 km/s since its 3.0x10^8m/s and Km is 1000 meters to a Km.

if gravity is created solely by the sun then wouldnt for instance someone on the daylight side be lighter than say at nighttime ?

Technically light speed is 299,792,458 meters per second which amounts to 299,792.458 km/s.

That is the popular argument, one which has been covered several times on this thread. Please review the previous replies.
