If light has no mass why does it get sucked into black holes?
In: Technology
Another way to look at is that light follows the plane of space (this is really simplifiex) and black holes warp that plane.
Think of a bed sheet pulled tight across a bed. You roll a golf ball across the middle it it will just go in a straight line. Now, if you place a bowling ball on the sheet, when you roll the golf ball, it will roll closer to the bowling ball becaue of the depression it makes.
The “depression” in space that black holes make are infinitely deeper than the bowling ball on the bed.
