Well, here's the scenario I am particularly curious about:
A riffle barrel and a laser point directly towards a target some distance away. Now, General
relativity says that the bullet and the light experience the same downward acceleration
during horizontal travel, yet the bullet hits the target well below the laser beam.
Is it because light exhibits less gravitational forces than material objects such as a bullet? If not, then why does this happen?
