Astrophysicists often talk about gravitational lensing, one of the most interesting aspects of light’s infamous particle-wave duality. This phenomenon shows in a predictable and measurable way how the small mass within each photon of light shooting out from a distant star actually bends the light in the gravitational pull of dense objects along its path. … Read more
