http://helios.gsfc.nasa.gov/qa_gp.html#massprop "Under General Relativity, you don't need to have mass to be affected by gravity"
Does this mean that light is affected by gravity ?
Am I talking a load of bull?

i think that is why black holes are black. their gravity is so strong that not even light can escape its force.

well... black holes can bend light... black holes have a MASSIVE/UNGODLY gravitational pull... which means that light can be bent... i don't know if the earth actually bends light, but i do know light is diffused or however you say it...
am i not making any sense?

haha!
i would think that the earth bends light, but to an unnoticable degree. gravity is never zero.

i think that everything affects everything with the four physical forces, no matter what the distance. i could be wrong, but i think that's how it works. so, to some small degree, your every movement, every vibration of your molecules, every thought and emotion that goes through you, all affect everything else in the universe to a small degree... which over a given amount of time becomes a larger affect (chaos).

just surface understanding, enough to suit me. i know little of the math involved in physics and i don't care to learn much of it.

I mean what do you do you're a musician I would guess you might like the site I found but then again It's probably a bit begginerish for you.

what do i do? i make a little music--will be doing more in the summer--i go to college, hike and canoe in the summer, i see live music performances regularly... but i guess a spend a lot of time doing odd things, like going into trance and exploring that experience, often through dance... you know, get primal and tap into instinct, intuition, the inherent wisdom of the body. i can't help but spend a lot of time reflecting on these experiences and i've found physics to be quite helpful in understanding things, but i've only studied the physics that applies directly to my personal questions and so there are plenty of areas that i'm totally in the dark on, so that site will probably have plenty of informatation that's new to me. think i'll look at that site tomorrow. right now i'm off to sleep. g'night.
