Trotsky:
< Wouldn't this mean that there was no horizon at dawn or dusk,
since the
light would then be moving in a straight line parallel to the ground?
And
wouldn't the distance to the horizon change as the day progressed? And
what
about night time, when the light would be bending downwards, towards
Hell?
I'm not convinced by this one.>
Just a thought: reflected light bends towards the sky, giving an apparent horizon, but light originating from the sky bends towards the sun. Does this help? This is a snap reply, not completely thought out. Appologies.
