Special Theory Of Relativity Force Of Gravity
454 words
According to Einstein's Special Theory of
Relativity, light can be bent. This is a concept
that seems to contradict the well-known law that
states that all light travels in a straight line.
But they do not contradict each other. Light does
travel in a straight line; only the space-time
continuum bends around it causing it to change
direction. This bend or warp in the space-time
continuum is a result of the presence of mass,
also known as gravity. Gravity is a force that is
always present, always...
