I am not sure what it was called, but when Einstein (I think) discovered 
that becasue of the sun's big mass, its gravity bends light. So we can 
actually see a star  that is almost behind the sun. Well, is it possible to 
project a ray of light, and apply some type of magnet near/next to the 
ray(s) and actually bend the light?
