How to bend light?

= Let's look at Wikipedia.

  1. Wik: Refraction
  2. Wik: Reference desk/Archives/Science/2006 November 4
  3. Wik: Prism (optics)
  4. Wik: Calculus
  5. Dark Matter: The Particles That Keeps Us Together
  6. Yahoo Answers: Gravity bending light?

Hmmm. No light doesn't bend. The "matter it travels through" can cause it to refract and appear to bend on a gestalt-patterned level. This is how your telescope works.
