Which one of these links do I have to read which supports the argument that light no longer travels in straight lines?
because that is what I am picking up as a theory put forward from a quick skim through this thread.“It ‘would’ obviously be supposed if it’s at some point found that all the distance calculations based on it are off.Because the light in question has reached us via an extended curved/circular route from what is actually a much closer point to us in space/time.”
I think it`s related to the theories that pi can only be understood by higher alien intelligences, and that light chooses to travel in arcs because it gets where it wants to go quicker.
All quite obvious really!
A ‘straight line’ is obviously an arc and vice versa, in curved space of a closed spherical universe.
