Researchers studying photonic crystals say they have successfully created a form of pseudogravity that bends light just like real gravity. The new technique could have a dramatic effect on advanced communication technologies like 6G, as well as other applications in optics and materials science that could benefit from a no-contact method of manipulating light.

      I would gladly accept the extended headline in place of such an asinine misguidance.

      Thank you. I did say that out loud and it was very funny.
