Acceleration of a point particle doesn't cause light crossing the particle to bend (because it's a point) but accel of a larger object does because light takes time to cross the object. But surely this doesn't mean space-time is really curved, or does it? Or is space-time curvature relative to an observer (surely not) ??? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
