Bending light

• Despite some of his discoveries now being strong evidence for light being waves, he concluded at the time that light was made of particles and would indeed be affected by gravity.
• However, by the late 19th century, Newton’s ideas on light were discarded, and it was thought to be waves, and thus unaffected by gravity.
• Observing the bending of light appeared to be a good second test of the revolutionary new concept of gravity as “curved spacetime,” but only the sun, about 330,000 times more massive than Earth, was strong enough to bend light slightly.

New equipment, new observations

• The noted English astronomer, Sir Arthur Eddington, made the first conclusive observations in 1919 from observation sites in South America and Africa.
• It seemed some stars could have about the mass of the sun, but only be the size of a planet.

• It now appears that most large galaxies, including ours, have black holes at their centres.

Bending power

• Although black holes have the most bending power, agglomerations of mass in deep space — including mysterious dark matter — also bend light.
• Since light from the distant objects they magnify for us took a long time to get here, it started its trip when the universe was young.
