Do you know who called it the “aether” first, in relation to gravity fields? Do you know who first said that light beams will bend when they pass near astronomical bodies? Do you know who said that the “gravity fields” are responsible for such bending?

Newton.

Read his “Optics”, 1704 edition.

Geepers! Go to a big library and read some good books, instead of getting all your information off the internet. Turn your computer off and go to a library.
