Lots of photons flying in circles around a black hole! @.@ Why is this even popular?

    @cheewii Photons are actually very small particles with pratically inexistent mass. Due to that a planet's gravity force is not enough to bend it, but many objects in space have enough gravity force to bend light - stars do it a bit, followed by black holes/galaxy centers which can even suck light due to the gargantuan gravitational forces.

    cheewii... light bends often, ever seen say water... its called refraction, u can do it with just about any transparent to transluecent substance

    @Cheewii: It doesn't break one law of physics... >_>

    Light bends through 4-dimensional space in gravity fields.

    This goes against the laws of physics, how come light can bend?
