how would light accelerate in any direction except perpendicular to its current direction of motion?

No.

Why not?

If this "effect" is "pushing" light in a parabolic curve away from the Earth, that implies that it acts perpendicular to the surface of the Earth.  The light would be eventually moving in the same direction as the deflecting "effect".  In the opposite, light moving straight toward the Earth would be in direct opposition to this effect and would have to lose momentum.

No.

The same reason that no matter how large x gets, x^-1 is never zero.

You are the king of one word answers today.

Please explain.

Can you please explain how that relates?  It doesn't make sense to me.

is the acceleration constant in one direction?

Obviously not.

So what causes this acceleration?  is it a force applied to light, why does it accelerate the light in a different direction depending on the direction of hte light?

I answered in another thread.

This is about as much information as I can give at the present time on the matter of the direction in which light bends.

What's stopping your worthless theory from causing gravitational redshifting?

If you are going to throw unnecessarily malicious adjectives around, I am not going to answer your questions.

Please sir, if you would please answer a question.  What's stopping your theory from causing gravitational redshifting?

The fact that it does not change the amount of energy in each photon.

Moving a light source doesn't change the energy level, but it still produces a dopplar shift in the frequency.

The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency. You lose.

It accelerates it in a different direction depending on its velocity because c is a constant.

I thought you said that the direction was always perpendicular to the direction of travel.

[Yes. That is what I meant; the direction of acceleration changes depending on the direction of velocity. I did not mean that the relationship between the directions of the velocity and acceleration vectors changes.

Why do people quoe Rowbotham as a god when his experiments have been dsproven. and light DOES ben Oka Nieba, it bends over the curve of the Earth. Also  light from other stars is bent by gravity of other stars as it travels to Earth, as  discovered by Einstein. light does bend, light easily bends as it has no mass.

How does an effect that always is perpendicular to the direction of motion equal an effect that must act perpendicular to the surface of the Earth?

As I understand that if you graph the vectors, there will be a perpendicular component, but there should also be a component in the parallel correct?
