    Cool videos. Please explain why if I place an object next to candle light say my finger, the candle light in the midst of still air would seem to "BEND" towards my finger? What is the cause to this phenomenon?

    you shouldn't have said zero gravity, but instead; micro gravity.

    not really because there is no oxygen in space to fuel the fire so it would not light or stay light if you managed to light it
