: One thing I've always wondered, Nothing with mass can : go the speed of light...right? : Ok, so supposedly photons don't have mass, if they did : it would take an infinite amount of energy to make : them go the speed of light..right? : So, then if photons do not have mass, how is it that : gravity effects them? You know like, blackholes : have such strong gravity that not even light can : escape, stars bend light the goes around them and : so forth... : Someone please explain this to me... : Thanks in advance. : Dave : Light is travelling through the shortest way on a surface and : the gravity affects the "shape" of the space-time, so light is moving on a bended surface. : Antonio |
