    I Speed of light around a (massive) object in space ...(i.e.sun

    I meant a speed in a vacuum (I didn't want complicate things) Yeah I do remember this from Physics :) I guess if that object(X) I talked about above had an atmosphere...would then affect things/ outcome would be different... but sorry for my question(s) seemed to have created more of a mess...

    I Speed of light around a (massive) object in space ...(i.e.sun

    Thanks Ibix, Sorry about the confusion. I guess what I was asking is that this light (pulse..) following this curved path or b/c of the Shapiro delay, these photons don't slow down at all. I think you answered my question in your response here: "It is true that light takes longer to travel near...

    I Speed of light around a (massive) object in space ...(i.e.sun

    Just wondering how a photon reacts when it is affected by gravity of an object in space like a star. Does the gravity actually bend the light/photons? Say you have a series of photons in a perfect line, all travelling, well, at the speed of light toward a massive object(x). The photons in the...
