So, which ones are mentioned in Lobachevsky's Vth axiom,
stupid Mike? One or the other?
They're the same; serious mathematicians know (I'm not
one but I know too),   shitty fanatics don't.

The Sun gravity curves the light path of stars, as Eddington verified in 1919 (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddington_experiment). The Einstein rings (there are hundreds of them) prove that light from very far light sources (as shown in the diagram in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_ring) are bent by the gravity of closer objects, where the massive object acts like a lens.

Okay.  I cannot prove that light is not affected by gravity, but there seem
to be alternative explanations for the bending of light around the Sun and
around distant galaxies.  

But that bending of light requires MASSIVE amounts of gravity and has
VERY TINY effects on the trajectory of the photons.  And it has absolutely
NOTHING to do with light we see coming from distant stars, light that did 
not pass near anything and just traveled a straight line from the POINT of
emission to a telescope on earth or in orbit around the earth.

Those have been hypothesized and tested and found to be unable to
quantitatively account for the bending. Now if you have an idea that you
can calculate from, and which hasn’t been already investigated, have at it.

You’d be amazed how many times there is something near the path between a
distant star and us.

It's just something that bugs me.  The alternative explanations seem logical,
but I don't know if anyone ever debunked them with mathematics.

Worse, they debunked them with data. That is, those alternative
explanations come with necessary consequences. That is, “If the explanation
is X, then not only does this explain the bending of light but we would
ALSO expect to see Z in the amount W.” Then they looked for the outcome Z
in real observational data and either did not find it at all, or found it
but in a number quite a bit different than the predicted W. This is how
science rules out alternative explanations. You knew that, right?

In what we call deep space, it appears to contain far more mass than previously seen. That excess mas is what is now called DARK MATTER and it contains around 85% of all mass in the universe (read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_matter).
This dark matter is not visible but it affects the rotation of galaxies. It is estimated that dark matter outweighs visible matter by approximately 5 to 1.

Yes, I know about dark matter.  It's a fascinating subject.  I have my own
theory about what it is, but there's no way to confirm it, so I just keep my
theory to myself.

There is no reason to believe that dark matter exists in any significant amount
BETWEEN galaxies.  It seems to collect in galaxies just as normal matter does.

I keep seeing this posted to Usenet and wonder how many of the photons
we observe in the night sky actually transcended space for millions of
years in a geometrically straight line as the posters impugn. Certainly
some, probably many, but "all?" Don't forget, everything out there in
space is moving and has been for the very long periods it took those
photons to arrive here. Personally I doubt that the "stationary point"
you think may have been the point of origin for your particular photon
to have begun its journey is where you think it was.

So you're arguing about some point or another that you cannot determine
where it was at the critical moment millions of years ago. Now what is
your point?

In fact, all of the light will have been bent at least a little, but the
question is whether the displacement between the apparent location of the
source and the real location of the source is outside the experimental
resolution of the location. I’m willing to bet that for the majority of
sources in the sky, the answer is “no”.

As I asked earlier, what is the point of a question that cannot be
answered other than maybe the point of origin is knowable (within some 
guessed resolution) and maybe it is not. Happiness is perhaps an 
acceptable probability? Needless to say that's yet another undefined 
variable.

Beyond that I refer you to your discussion about the viewer's frame of
reference, dumping more gasoline on the fire.

Well, except in this case, there’s a chance of estimating how many of those
displacements ARE discernible outside the resolution of the observed
source. I don’t know the answer to it, but I can see a path to coming up
with the estimate.

Photons travel in a straight line from one atom to another.  But each atom
can send the photon off in some random direction - or absorb the photon
and change it into a different kind of photon.

When photons travel through empty space they travel in a straight line.
If they hit something, the atom they hit absorbs the photon and generates
a NEW photon if the atom cannot hold that extra energy.  The NEW photon's
direction depends upon the type of atom.  Silver atoms will send the NEW 
photon back in the direction to first photon came from.  Atoms in glass and
air will generally send the NEW photons off in the same direction the original
was traveling.

The discussion is ONLY about those photons that traveled in a straight line
from the point of emission to my telescope.

You'd have to redefine a number of words/concepts but then you could

>> You should learn about stellar aberration. When astronomers look at stars and galaxies, they notice a seasonal shift in the apparent positions of all the stars and galaxies, and this shift is due to the changing motion of the earth in its orbit around the sun. That's what causes stellar aberration. Mind you, this is different from parallax (which is negligible for galaxies anyway), this is specifically due to our changing state of motion, i.e., our changing frame of reference. So, you see, changing our frame of reference affects where we see Andromeda today, and where we would extrapolate its earlier positions. The only effect we typically notice is our 6-month seasonal effect, but this is superimposed on the aberration due to the Sun's motion and the Milky Way's motion, etc., we just don't detect those differences because they are always present, whereas our seasonal motion changes direction every 6 months, so we can see the difference.

It does; it affects where you see the light come from. For example, if 
you observe a particular star in Andromeda twice, 6 months apart, the 
points where the light appears to come from not only depends on how far 
Andromeda moved during those 6 months but also on the earth's motion 
(and position), so the two rays of light won't be forming a very narrow 
triangle with vertices you, Andromeda star 2,500,000 years ago and 
Andromeda 2,499,999.5 years ago because stellar aberration affects where 
Andromeda and the star appears to be. Aberration changes the angle more 
than 6 months of approaching does.

The only plausible absolute rest frame is the isotropic CMBR frame, but that is entirely consistent with local Lorentz invariance.

He does, but is just reminding you everyone else at different locations

First of all, clarify "stationary", "stationary" relative to what? 
Relative to you? To Andromeda?

While you could argue about a location of a point in space (unique to 
you) by using the x,y,z coordinates of the event, "stationary point in 
space" makes no sense.  Space does not move; things in space move, and 
then only with respect to something else (more specifically some frame 
where the 'something' is stationary).  Second, Andromeda was moving 
relative to where the earth was 2.5 million years ago. Which is why you 
should specify stationary relative to yourself or relative to Andromeda 
or something else.

Einstein specifically stated that the properties of motion cannot be 
applied to a point in empty space.  That would also mean it would be 
meaningless to call a point in empty space "stationary" as stationary is 
a property of motion.

Yes, it's clear you're a solipsist regarding this.

Empty points in space don't have the property of motion (or lack of motion).

You mean other observers.  Everyone/everything is in every possible

are stationary and at the origin.

When astronomers look at stars and galaxies, they notice a seasonal shift in the apparent positions of all the stars and galaxies, and this shift is due to the changing motion of the earth in its orbit around the sun. That's what causes stellar aberration. Mind you, this is different from parallax (which is negligible for galaxies anyway), this is specifically due to our changing state of motion, i.e., our changing frame of reference. So, you see, changing our frame of reference affects where we see Andromeda today, and where we would extrapolate its earlier positions. The only effect we typically notice is our 6-month seasonal effect, but this is superimposed on the aberration due to the Sun's motion and the Milky Way's motion, etc., we just don't detect those differences because they are always present, whereas our seasonal motion changes direction every 6 months, so we can see the difference.

Why can't people here understand that if YOU see a light from a star, you
are seeing DIFFERENT PHOTONS that what I see.

The discussion is NOT about how you see different photons that what I see,
it is only about the photons that I see and how those photons traveled  at
the speed of light in a STRAIGHT LINE from where they were EMITTED to 
my eye.

The "properties of motion cannot be applied to a point in empty space"
because empty space is stationary.  "Stationary" is the ABSENCE OF MOTION,
it is not a "property of motion."

I deliberately worded my answer to refer to YOU, Ed Lake, not to myself

Wrong. "Stationary" is the property of motion where the speed of the 
motion is 0.
Or will you claim that 0 is not a number?

Have they really? Astronomers who made those measurement used assumptions
that you consider wrong. For example, you don't believe that the speed of
the Andromeda galaxy can be determined from the measurement of the blue
shift of its light. And the side way movement is zero as accurately as can
be determined. So how do you know that the Andromeda galaxy is moving?

The speed of Andromeda can only be measured RELATIVE TO US.  The stars
that comprise Andromeda move in an orbit around the black hole that is the
center of the Andromeda galaxy.  Meanwhile, we are in an orbit around the 
black hole that is at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.  And that means we 
move at a different speed away from the Andromeda stars that are
moving toward us versus the stars that are moving away from us.  Red and
blue shifting results from our movement away from or toward those stars.

The problem with this forum is that there is no way to provide illustrations.
An illustration of TWO rotating galaxies would show how we move away
faster from stars on one side of Andromeda than stars on the other side.

Nothing Ed Lake says above means as much as what he doesn't say. He doesn't
answer my question, apparently because he can't. If he could he could also
support, at least to some extents, the opionions he has expressed in earlier
messages. But he didn't, so we can expect that his so far unjustified
opinions will remain unjustified.
