Interesting post shammy and nice diagrams

So why DOES light get effected like that? This sounds like a stupid question but since light is an electromagnetic wave (the light-like "thingies" Greasy) why does it have mass, which it must do to be affected by gravity? Well I suppose there's the whole wave-partical duality thing. Do photons have mass? I thought they were just "energy packets" - changes in space in the amount of energy at that location...
