Have you heard of "Gravitational Lensing" ? Massive bodies cause
multiple
images of objects to appear in photographs of stars because light is
bent by
the object. On an earthly level, the earth's own magnetic field has
gaps and
is diminishing over time, giving rise to speculation that is now
supported
by simulations, that the magetic field will disappear altogether. It
may
reappear or vanish forever. The mechanism for this is somewhat
understood,
but not entirely. The gaps in the earth's magnetic field are caused by
solar
activity. The universe is a place we understand very little, and
humbling
for that. It is not impossible for the impossible to happen s.



Yeah, the lensing is something Einstein predicted.

By the way, if you want a different explaination for Long Delayed Echos,
you could imagine the radio waves bouncing off clouds of ionized gas in
outer space. If the clouds were shaped properly, they could even focus
the RF back to earth. Seems tenous to me. The cosmic repeater theory
is more fun.
