It’s faaaaar beyond anything testable using technology for the next century or two, in the lab, though the Event Horizon Telescope might provide some indirect tests …

E = h c/λ.

If I let wavelength λ of a photon decrease, energy increases. At some point its mass equivalent must have considerable gravitational effect. Surely there comes a point where
we run into theoretical trouble.
