I What affects light near black holes and stars?

AI Thread Summary
Light passing near massive objects like stars or black holes experiences gravitational lensing, where its path is bent due to the object's intense gravitational field. This phenomenon can lead to observable effects such as distorted images of distant objects and the creation of multiple images. The discussion encourages the physics student to explore existing literature and share specific questions for deeper understanding. A recommended resource is a PF Insights article that introduces gravity's effects around massive objects. Understanding these concepts is crucial for comprehending the behavior of light in extreme gravitational environments.

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
