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 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 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.


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?

It has been prooved by General Theory of Relativity that light is affected by gravitation........


Can time be bent?

In physics, time dilation occurs when time is experienced differently between two observers due to differences in their motion or gravitational fields. Time dilation is a well-established phenomenon predicted by Einstein's theory of relativity. While time cannot be "bent" in the traditional sense, it can be influenced by factors such as speed and gravity.


Why gamma rays do not bend?

They have no electrical charge and therefore can not be bent by electrical or magnetic fields.


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."


Can a path of light be bent?

It's a tricky question, and I am answering from the point of view of an interested layman, not a physicist. Light travels on a straight path through space. The interesting reality is that the space around gravitational fields bends.Light travels in a straight path through bent space. Also, light can be transmitted through optical fibers in communications systems, and the light follows the fiber through whatever bends are put into it.


How can black holes bend light?

Imagine a big sheet. If you place a large object on it, it will bend. Imagine that the sheet is the space-time continuum, and the large object is a star. If, with our sheet model, you try to roll a marble past the object, it will at least curve its path, if not fall into the large object. The same applies to any object in space, even the photons of light. As they go past a star or other large object, they bend. I hope this helped.


How are structures of ozone related?

The structures of ozone at there in stratosphere. They are pulled towards by gravity.


Can light be bent or refracted when it hits a new material at a angle?

Light can only be bent by gravity, therefore, refraction occurs when light hits an atom's electron and is scattered in a different direction.


What in nature can represent a line as in goes on forever and is straight?

In nature, nothing. Even a ray of light is bent by gravity.
