We don't know enough about how gravity works to determine if it can be bent or deflected or negated. I suspect not - but I am mindful of Arthur C. Clarke's First Law. "When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong."

Clarke's Third Law may also be applicable here: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

How does light travel in straight line?

It does not. It is a particle that acts like a wave


Can gravity pull light?

No, gravity cannot pull light. Light is made up of massless particles called photons, which do not experience gravitational forces in the same way that objects with mass do. However, gravity can bend the path of light, a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing.


Can you see a black hole that isn't feeding?

Yes, it can be observed by either gravitational effects, such as stars having relatively orbits around a point, or by gravitational lensing, where light from stars behind the black hole is bent by the massive gravity of the black hole so that it can be seen


What do gamma rays bend?

Gamma rays can be bent by the presence of strong gravitational fields, such as those near black holes or neutron stars. This bending is known as gravitational lensing, which occurs as the gamma rays travel through the curved spacetime around these massive objects.


Why do stationary or massless photons interact with gravity?

Intense gravitational waves shock the velocity of massless objects including photons or any other electromagnetic radiation carriers, and this is linked to Einstein's general theory of relativity and the gravitational lensing effect dictated by larger objects around which light velocity vector bends but its value remains invariant.


What causes gravitational force to attract particles of mass toward each other?

According to Albert Einstien it isn't gravity it's space-time that's bent around the object so it draws particles toward it.I know I'm not being clear but I can't reallt explain it.


Are photons affected by gravity in any way?

Yes, photons are affected by gravity. According to the theory of general relativity, gravity can bend the path of light, causing it to be deflected as it passes near massive objects like stars or black holes. This phenomenon is known as gravitational lensing.


Can time be bent?

It's not completely finalized yet, but technically, yes. How do I know this? You should watch "What Time Is It?" on the Science Channel. It's awesome. I watched it last night and it blew me away. I love the Science Channel!!! ~Megan~


What is gravitational lensing?

Gravitational lensing is a phenomenon where light from a distant object is bent and distorted by the gravitational field of a massive object, such as a galaxy or a cluster of galaxies, that lies in between the distant object and the observer. This bending of light can create multiple images of the distant object, distort its appearance, or even magnify it. Gravitational lensing is a powerful tool for studying the distribution of dark matter in the universe and for discovering distant galaxies and objects.


Does light bend when it goes near the gravitational field of a black hole or does the light travel in a straight line through the space that has been bent by the intense gravity?

Light bends when it passes near the gravitational field of a black hole due to the curvature of space-time caused by the intense gravity of the black hole. This effect is known as gravitational lensing, and it can cause light to follow a curved path around the black hole rather than a straight line.


Do photons travel in a straight line?

Yes, they do. But they sometimes travel a straight line through bent space.


What does bent in slang mean?

Typically, "bent" is used as an insult as in "get bent." The phrase "get bent" means "get bent over," in other words, "screw you."
