“ABSTRACT

Over the duration of the Kepler mission, KIC 8462852 was observed to undergo 
irregularly shaped, aperiodic dips in flux down to below the 20% level. The 
dipping activity can last for between 5 and 80 days. We characterize the 
object with high-resolution spectroscopy, spectral energy distribution 
fitting, and Fourier analyses of the Kepler light curve.”

Again, it is a very simple optical effect, and you do not need Einstein for 
that; it has nothing to do with the disproof of relativity claimed by you.  
Newton suffices there, even Galilei.  To see how it works, move your thumb 
in front of any light source, say a lamp.  As the (half-)shadow passes over 
your eyes, you observe the light source growing dimmer and then brighter 
again.  If you would draw a curve into a coordinate system where the 
abscissa would specify time and the ordinate the intensity of the light 
hitting your eye, it would look approximately as follows:

   I (in W/m²)
   ^
   |
   + ----.        .-----
   |      `.    ,'
   |        `--'
   |
   | 
   '--------------------> t

And *that* is a light curve.

I would prefer if you used a proper name and proper English first.
