I heard in about year 5 that gravity bends light. And that Eienstien was the one who fortold this phenomena and proved this during a solar eclipse. He said it was a perfect demonstration that gravity actualy bends space and time. But as most intelligent people know this is quite imposible becaue it would require space/time to take on the properties of the previosly dismised ether theory. So geting to my point now, other than in the sun/eclipse experiment, has light been observed to bend around an object that does not have a huge electomagnetic field, or large expanse of gas around it ,ie the solar corona. Because these things would have a very lage effect on such an unacurate experiment. Anyone's thoughts on this mater would be greatly apreciated. Regards, Daniel
