[edit] Summary

Description

Made by me using Xfig and checked with rsvg-view before uploading. Depicts the binding of light waves (black lines) in a gravitational field (green arrow). According to the theory of general relativity, the bottom of the wave moves more slowly than the top, causing the light to veer downwards.
