Can you catch light in a pot?

Contrary to what is popularly said, according to Einstein, gravity affects Energy and is produced by Energy. Mass is just a special form of energy. As IATIA says above, think of it as curvature of space+time and it becomes clear that everything is affected!

So you guys are saying gravity affects space time, okay, but how can gravity affecting space time affect light causing it to bent ?
Light doesn't need a medium to travel right?

This is confusing.
According to my knowledge, light has no mass, light doesn't need a medium to travel, I mean, if light doesn't need space time to exist or travel how can the effect gravity have on space time reflect on light?
(is my question legitimate or should I read up on it?)
