Light travels in straight lines, next year its a wave and then its particles. What you said isso true about uni rethreading.

To be fair light does travel in straight lines (more or less... ignoring that nothing travels in any set or even single path something something veritasium video), its not lights fault if a straight line in physical reality doesn't always happen to match up with the geometry we invented.
