In this video I will explain Einstein's brilliant concept that light is affected by gravity. Einstein's thought experiment was that a super-ball bouncing off opposite walls in a space ship accelerating at a=gravity will eventually bounce to the ground. Einstein postulated that light, not unlike a super-ball, will behave similarly.
