Short answer: Yes

For those of you who like the long-winded, somewhat accurate* explanation, here it is:

In theory or on paper (equations), yes; however, in reality, it cannot. This is because there are theories and equations that suggest that space warps around light in such a manner that light will always be traveling at light speed by comparison, thus creating a paradox when two light rays come near each other, which might allow them to bend around an object instead of just bounce off of it. This is, of course, merely hypothetical as there is no way to prove this

theory.

*Keep in mind i am only a freshman in highschool, and don't perfectly understand the concepts of which i am speaking in the answer. Also keep in mind that i have a much more accurate understanding of this subject than many of the peers i have at MY highschool.

It can't. Light is a transverse wave, so objects can obstruct it.

How does light makes possible for you to see objects around you?

Light reflects off objects and enters your eyes, where it is focused by the lens onto the retina. The retina then converts the light signals into electrical impulses that travel through the optic nerve to the brain. The brain processes these signals into images, allowing you to see objects around you.


How do you travel in the speed of light?

You don't. The only objects that can travel at the speed of light are those that ONLY travel at that speed, like photons or gravitons.


Does light travel through air?

yes. that is why you are able to see objects. light reflects off objects allowing you to see.


What would happen if light was not reflected why?

If light was not reflected, objects would appear invisible as there would be no way for the light to bounce off the surface and travel to our eyes. Reflection is essential for us to see and perceive the color and texture of objects around us.


Does light travel forever in the universe?

Yes, light can travel forever in the universe unless it is absorbed or scattered by objects in its path.


How does light travel through opaque objects?

It just doesn't :)


How does light rays help us see objects?

Light rays reflect off objects and travel into our eyes, where they are focused by the cornea and lens onto the retina. The retina then translates the light into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for processing, allowing us to perceive and recognize the objects around us.

What does not let light through?

There are many materials that light can not travel through which are called opaque objects.


Objects that travel around the star?

Objects that travel around a star are typically planets, moons, asteroids, or comets. These objects orbit the star due to the gravitational pull from the star. The motion of these objects around the star is influenced by their mass, velocity, and the distance from the star.
