Bent Space: It's really cool
Link | by Meckam on 2005-12-15 22:21:35
I didnt know at first but it's really amazing... :) For there's the sun & planet A, and then there's an another planet,planet B that is bigger & it's between the sun & plante A. Planet A doesnt really darken because the light coming from the sun is bended from planet B to planet A... Which means that even solid mass can bend light... :) I heard that they making a telescope out of it, cool!!!! :)

you cant "make" a telescope that uses a gravitational lens, but you can exploit naturally occurring ones.
below is an example of a gravitational lens:

my apologies mr. gendou... :) i was talking about the lens... :) by the way, i can see your really "IN" about physics, so are you a physics major? I was thinking getting one myself... :)
