7 sources for · 0 against

Massless photons traveling through space experience a curved trajectory due to the presence of mass and spacetime curvature, a phenomenon verified by extensive gravitational lensing and general relativity tests.

The analysis

The retrieved papers consistently support the well-established physical principle that light bends in a curved path through space (gravitational lensing/deflection) as predicted by general relativity. There are no papers refuting this claim.
