Solar Eclipse Experiment27The bending of light by the gravitation of massivebodies has indeed been observed:During total solareclipses:The positions ofstars apparentlyclose to the sunare shifted awayfrom the positionof the sun.→ New description of gravity ascurvature of spacetime!
Bending of Light under Gravity28• Light will always travel at a constant velocity.• therefore, it will follow the straightest possible path through spacetime• if spacetime is curved near a massive object, so will the trajectory of light
