Actually, the only way you can bend a light beam (or, any other
electromagnetic beam or photons) is to bend the material which contains
the beam.

But, if you said something correct now, you would ruin your record of
being 100% wrong -- good save!

Space does not bend.

Really?

So then he didn't acknowledge that the "gravitational ether" existed?

He didn't acknowledge that space is bent like a mattress by a bowling
ball, and subject to the forces of gravity?

You are claiming lines of space (ether) penetrate through the earth as
perfectly straight lines?

Let's see the sources which cause you to reach that/those conclusion(s?)

Wow. Two words and you misread it. I stand in awe.

Einstein was quite clear that space was a non-Euclidian
construct. That, in fact, it was quite flexible, and that there were
no straight lines. And that it was finite.

That would mean there are no straight lines anywhere...if you think about it.

Right.

Oh, I'd say you can still create perfectly straight lines, however, NOT
with any device which measures "straight", which exists in the same
universe ... or, simply put, a perfectly straight line would appear
curved to us ...

I have an old Saturday Evening Post magazine (that magazine is in my
attic now, along with buku more magazines and books and junk) all about
when JFK was murdered in Dallas.I forget the exact date of that
magazine, I will look at it tomorrow when I go back up in my attic.Yep,
I bought that magazine at the Goodwill store a bunch of years ago.

Draw a line (straight or crooked line) on a piece of paper.That line is
3 Dimensional.

Since there is nowhere free from both matter and energy,
there aren't.
