How do blackholes attract light when light is massless.
In: Planetary Science
This is why newtonian physics is insufficient to describe our universe. If gravity pulls objects with mass, then yes, light shouldn’t be affected by black holes. But under General Relativity physics would look different. The mass of the black hole is bending space and time itself and so all things traveling by its influence would be affected regardless of mass — including light.
