If light has no mass, how is it affected by black holes? The answer is: massive objects bend the "fabric" of space-time, so light travels along a different path than it would have if the massive object were not there. [🎞️physicsgene]

All this is presumption.

“Science doesn’t tell us why the Big Bang happened, how the singularity occurred in the first place, or why it exploded when it did. It tells us there is objective scientific evidence that it occurred. So, what exactly was the Big Bang?” – Book III The Enigmatic Mystery

or it's not possible to bend space or time and we are missing what really causes Gravity.

That’s not an answer, it’s a hypothesis.

Nonsense. Only if you define that the speed of light is a constant, then the only way to explain the longer travel time if light near a mass, as observed with the Shapiro delay, is by assuming that spacetime is curved. But when you define that spacetime is flat, then you explain the same observation with a change of the refractive index of space as a function of the mass distribution. The higher this refractive index goes above 1, the slower light propagates. Stop thinking that space changes its geometry. The content of space changes always. We, our particle function, slow down near gravitating masses. Light propagation slows down. At the EH of the BH, all light comes to a halt, and all particles condense to a particle condensate that covers what condensed there before.

This is based on assumptions

Yes, that is the the effect. However, what exactly is the "fabric" of space and time that is being bent?

I actually finally understood what a black hole is, in some way

So wait, then light isn't sucked in? It just travels around b/c of the space-time bending?

Fun fact: Black holes have such strong gravity that not even light can escape them! 🌑💡 This is why they appear "black"—no light can be emitted or reflected from inside the event horizon, the point of no return. It’s one of the most fascinating mysteries of the universe!

@lavanaz That would be a good explanation for the halos we see. It's not what is inside refelcring off the dome- it's light from outside hitting the surface and projecting a ring....interesting...

Ever hear Albert Einstein’s voice? He’s him explaining his formula, E=mc² It is probably the most famous formula in the world, but what exactly does it mean? Let's start by defining each letter in the formula: E = Energy M = Mass C = Speed of light (a very large number) If we were to read the formula, we would say, "Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared." The formula itself is rather simple in that it essentially says that energy and mass are different forms of the same thing; they are interchangeable. So are you saying a beam of light and a banana are different forms of the same thing? Yes, in our head, this may not make sense, but it does in nature. This discovery was groundbreaking at the time because people had previously believed that energy could only be created by kinetic or potential energy. You can increase kinetic energy by accelerating your car. You can increase potential energy by stretching a rubber band. Einstein demonstrated that there was a third form, which is that things have energy because they simply exist. Ok, so why is mass multiplied by the speed of light? Whenever you are converting mass to pure energy, it is by nature moving at the speed of light. Pure energy is an electromagnetic radiation, which travels at 186,000 miles/sec (300,000 km/sec). Ok, cool, but why is the speed of light squared? This again has to do with the nature of energy. If an object is moving twice as fast as another object, it does not have twice as much energy. Rather, it has four times as much energy. Hence, the speed of light is squared, which comes out to a very big number. C^2 is the conversion factor from mass to energy. The bottom line is that even small objects have an immense amount of energy. Through the process of nuclear fusion/fission via nuclear power plants, we can harness some of this energy. In the atomic bomb that destroyed the city of Hiroshima, there was about 700 milligrams (equivalent to the weight of 1/3 of a dime) of uranium which was converted to energy that destroyed everything within a 1-mile (1.6 km) blast radius.
