 velocity.  This principle caused him to propose that light is bent by
 the sun, and although that particular experiment was flawed, it's been
 established since that gravity does in fact cause light to bend. >>

The light does not bend, it is the mass of the sun that "warps" space, giving 
the light photos a nonuniform path to traverse.  Starts getting weird when 
space becomes non homogeneous.

Just a couple of cents,

See ya,
