Theory of Relativity: Simplified

General Relativity: Gravitational Lenses, the Cosmic Trick to See Distant Galaxies


Listen Later

In this episode, we uncover the incredible phenomenon of gravitational lensing, where light bends around massive objects like stars or black holes due to the warping of spacetime. But how does gravity manage to bend something as intangible as light? We’ll break down the physics behind this mind-bending effect, explore stunning real-world examples like Einstein’s Cross, and explain how gravitational lensing helps us study distant galaxies and dark matter. Join us for a journey into the warped reality of light and gravity!
