Another B.L. Question

Who made you and TD kings of the universe? JBJosh wants to know, so stop derailing his thread by going on about how he shouldn't want to know. He's clearly sick of it, and so am I.


Cut it out.

Fair enough, I just don't like being misquoted. However, as JBJosh has already said, your whole point is irrelevant. The theory exists, and he wants to understand it better. It doesn't matter who does or doesn't believe it.

It matters. There's no point discussing a theory no one believes in or think is possible.

Sorry if this is too close to off-topic, but tell that to my history teacher. We talked about Eugenics in reference to the forced sterilization of people today.

Now back on-topic, will someone please tell me if I have the correct understanding of B.L.? If not, what have I missed?

I did.
You have the correct understanding of Bendy light.  Light going to the Earth bends more as the angle get's lower.  Light going from the Earth bends more as the angle get's closer to 90 degrees.

How does the light bend that way? It seems to only bend towards the viewer.

If you're questioning how light could possibly work that way then congratulations, you understand Bendy Light.
The Understanding being that you can't understand it because it's gibberish.

Fair enough. I'd still like an FE'er response, or parsec or parsifal.
