Why is light affected by gravity ??



Light is affected by Gravity🔦🔦🔦💡💡

light is affected by gravity, but not in its speed. General Relativity (our best guess as to how the Universe works) gives two effects of gravity on light. It can bend light (which includes effects such as 

And it can change the energy of light. But it changes the energy by shifting the frequency of the light (gravitational redshift) not by changing light speed. Gravity bends light by warping space so that what the light beam sees as "straight" is not straight to an outside observer. The speed of light is still constant.

Floaters look like small specks, dots, circles, lines or cobwebs in your field of vision. While they seem to be in front of your eye, they are floating inside. Floaters are tiny clumps of gel or cells inside the vitreous that fills your eye. What you see are the shadows these clumps cast on your retina.  pc: @sourtruth

The Backwards Moon🌒🌒

Image
The Backwards Moon🌒🌒 Triton orbits Neptune in what is known as a retrograde orbit. This means that it orbits Neptune a direction opposite the planet's rotation. It is the only large moon in the Solar System to do this. ... Some believe that it condensed this way from the original material of the early solar system. 👉 Follow @map_of_science_ for more scientific fact and information.

Superfluidity

Image
Superfluidity is the characteristic property of a fluid with zero viscosity which therefore flows without any loss of kinetic energy. When stirred, asuperfluid forms vortices that continue to rotate indefinitely. Superfluidity occurs in two isotopes of helium (helium-3and helium-4) when they are liquefied by cooling to cryogenic temperatures. It is also a property of various other exotic states of matter theorized to exist in astrophysics, high-energy physics, and theories of quantum gravity.The theory of superfluidity was developed by Soviet physicist Lev Landau.
