How Can Gravity Bend Light?
š” The Answer
- Massive objects warp spacetime, causing light to follow curved paths.
- This gravitational lensing effect was confirmed during the 1919 solar eclipse.
- It allows astronomers to see distant galaxies that would otherwise be hidden.
- The bending angle depends on the mass of the object creating the gravitational field.
