Message:

1. If we have two separated masses with a high gravitational pull between them 
(bending space), is the space between the objects stretched?
Also if we took this to it's limit, would light ultimately be stationary in 
this stretched space?
2. If the mass of an object bends space, does it also compress space, where 
light would be "seen" to be traveling faster than c.


Thanks
Jason
