Bendy light
Hi Alex,
Well, I think I'm with you on this one.
Aside from relativistic considerations (and motion of the observer -- let's assume he/she is static), the light (well each individual photon) has to travel in a straight line from the origin, don't it?
Assuming it is a reasonably well focused torch beam (better a laser) (but not shining at a plane) they would all be travelling in more or less the same direction at exactly the same speed, so logic say's it must be a straight line I guess?
Best,
