What is gravitational pull?
The attraction of one mass to another or the bending of space-time.
Why does relativity says massive objects bend?
Very loosely, relativity says massive objects change the geometry of space/time. Bending both time and space.
What do scientists call the bending of light?
Scientists call it refraction.
What do you call the bending of the wave around an objects?
I call it 'diffraction'.
What do you call the bending waves around an obstacle?
I call it the process of 'diffraction'.
What tip of technology will it take to get to mercury faster?
bending space
What is bending light?
Water will bend a beam of light. Try this put a stright pincil in a glass of water. The pencil is still stright but looks bent. The water is bending the beam of light.
What do you call the bending of light that hits a surface?
Refraction
How does time effect space?
Time doesn't affect space. Space and time are the same thing in relativity; that's why we call it spacetime. Mass affects spacetime and spacetime affects mass.
What increased in the universe over time?
Space. In fact, astronomers consider time and space to be inextricable from one another. They call it "timespace".
Does outer space exist doesn't all space have to be held together by something?
Yes outer space exists We haven't been in space enough to have the answers but there are widely excepted theories. According to Einstein's theory outer space isn't as much held together as it is supposedly sitting on a plane of Space-time. Gravity is a force imposed by matter stretching and bending the space time. Space is expanding so that suggests it is not "held together".
What do we call light bending instead of coming back towards you?
refraction
