Normally light travels in a straight line. However, it has been demonstrated that gravity can bend the path of light.
true
Light is a particle that acts like a wave and therefore does not travel in a straight line. light has nothing to do with gravity, the fourth dimension or the 'fabric' of space time.
Energy does always travel in a straight line. It is true that close to a massive object the energy may 'appear' to bend, but this is simply because mass bends space, a straight line through curved space is still a straight line. So the reason that energy travels in a straight line is because a straight line is actually defined as the path taken by a beam of light!
Yes because, Light travels in a straight path called a light ray.
light travels in a straight line because it can only be bend by reflective objects.
Normal. It takes a lot of mass to bend light.

Light always travels in a straight line. It's direction can be changed, by reflection or refraction, but it does not bend.
If light did not travel in a straight line then the light would just bend around the body that is suppose to be making a shadow and no shadow would be observed. as there is a shadow cast by that body this proves that light does not bend and in fact travels in a straight line.
no it does not
Straight line.
yes
