why is light affected by gravity? Now we must move into some physics more modern than old Newton's mechanics. Go beyond Newtonian mechanics to Hamiltonian mechanics. It's kind of mystifying the first time you see it, and it's difficult to talk about casually without sounding like Harry Potter. Like in the Matrix where 'there is no spoon': there is no gravity.
