From the article:
Quote: According to his theory of general relativity, gravity warps spacetime itself, which bends the path of massless photons.

Obviously I'm not a physicist, but I can't wrap my head around this. I don't know what they mean by spacetine or how gravity could affect something without mass. So the rest of the experiment doesn't make sense to me Sad Does anyone know of any good resources to understand the concept of general relativity?
