The setup could also be used to model other properties of a black hole, such as how it
distorts space -
time.

distort the fabric of
space -
time.
Light rays emanating from a distant object behind a cluster pass through the
distorted space -
time, which causes the rays to bend and converge as they move toward an observer.
