Reply to comment by lacgibra in How would one calculate the gravity of a planet? by LoreCriticizer

light behind a galaxy that can be seen because of the mass of the galaxy infront is seen not because of gravity force

as we know photons have no mass so gravity has no effect if you think of it as a force

the space time is bend so the photons get bend with it

Okay do me a favour, workout a classical problem considering gravity as curved space time. Simple pendulum, compound pendulum, linear Harmonic oscillator two body problem anything.

I'm simply saying, I apply gravity as space-time curve when I apply the Einstein's relativity in action. If had explained the question in the first scenario using relativity, I would've mentioned gravity as space time curve

well, I am just a simple electrician with some knowledge of Einstein

I admit using Newton is perfectly fine if you dont need super precise

Yeah yeah quantum mechanics is wrong too, because it's foundation was laid by classical mechanics.
