“There is no warping of space-time around a celestial body; space remains Euclidean. Light bends when grazing the surface of a star because the star’s gravity field creates a light velocity gradient across the photon. Because the photon’s speed is slower on the side nearest the star, its trajectory bends or refracts around the star. This light-velocity effect is closely associated with the above mentioned gravitational redshift effect.”
