Gravity does not cause any light bending, NASA scientist claims. But what does ?

Once more, when you are looking at stars near the sun, you notice that the light is only bent when the starlight is inside the corona of the sun, but did not bend outside the corona where Einstein predicted. Einstein’s general theory of relativity predicts starlight should bend at least slightly near the sun outside the corona but this is not observed.

Dr. Dowdye points out that stars outside the corona of the sun in fact do not bend according to Einstein’s general relativity.



The reason why light bends in the sun's corona is obviously from refraction, similar to atmospheric refraction:
wikipedia said:
Atmospheric refraction
is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height.[1] This refraction is due to the velocity of light through air decreasing (the refractive index increases) with increased density. Atmospheric refraction near the ground produces mirages. Such refraction can also raise or lower, or stretch or shorten, the images of distant objects without involving mirages. Turbulent air can make distant objects appear to twinkle or shimmer. The term also applies to the refraction of sound. Atmospheric refraction is considered in measuring the position of both celestial and terrestrial objects. Astronomical or celestial refraction causes astronomical objects to appear higher above the horizon than they actually are.
Refraction not only affects visible light rays, but all electromagnetic radiation, although in varying degrees.

Now we can apply this to stars, like the sun, which have atmospheres, and even to galaxies, which are enveloped in spherical halos of plasma. There is no reason to believe that light bending is caused by the gravity or spacetime curvature, especially when there IS NO LIGHT BENDING OUTSIDE THE SUN'S CORONA, as the amazing DR. Edward Dowdye from NASA has showed

So here you have an actual NASA scientist proving that Einstein was WRONG, just like I did, and the mainstream scientific community is ignoring him. No peer review, no nothing, they just IGNORE HIM.
Because he completely destroyed their experimentally proved non-sense, and their cosmoillogical big bang universe, which is entirely based on relativistic pseudo physics and redshifts which dont exist as I have proved. Or at least they claim it is because I showed why the big bang contradicts GR and also SR, and again no one was able to disprove me.

In the sixties, seventh grade science class, a stilled solution of sugar water bowed a flashlight beam. A density gradient can bow white light. No gravity needed. And it was bowed, not bounced.

Argued this for years to no avail. Spacetime spacetime spacetime is all you hear.

Refractive index and Snell's Law for sure but what has that got to do with the issue? Surely you are not suggesting that the atmosphere of a star or Galaxy extends billions of miles out to cause refraction and that therefore General relativity is wrong - or are you?
Or maybe space is compressed near a star and this is Snell's Law operating but using space compression or flow ? So if the latter then surely this is just a different way of describing the same physics.
So can the same processes apply but substitute different mediums ( space for atmosphere)? I have no idea. Just a thought lol:-

Approaching a star, say, the curvature of space is more obvious and changes the direction of light much like how light behaves when caused by a refractive medium. The refractive medium in this analogy becomes space itself - by a theoretical increase in the density of space as the star is approached.

Space is a high vacuum. No refraction going on there.
The interstellar medium contains about 10^6 hydrogen molecules per cubic meter.
A one square meter fishing net swept all the way to Alpha Centauri would gather about a gram of hydrogen, far to little to refract anything.

I believe that a density gradient can bow light. I believe that molecular, atomic and particle entities, all have angular fields. I think this characteristic is the principle that bows the light. The gradient of such synthesizes a large angular supposition, for the incoming light flux to reference to. A two field flux interaction. An angular/linear interaction.

I think that stars and galaxies have this particle density around them. I believe that velocity keeps them there……. even surrounding the so called black holes. Which I believe are toroidal stars, not black holes.

The solar wind is the escaping part of this particle atmosphere.

A particle atmosphere would be invisible, unless you gamma shine it. Then it would wink back at you.

But you would need x-ray vision to see it.

There is probably much more particle matter now, flying thru space, than in all the stars. Moving much too fast to ever interact again.
 
We can look at dispersion of radio waves. We find a pure source of radio waves, could be a chemical maser in a cloud somewhere. We know how far away it is. We know what frequency band it started out as. When it gets to Earth, the signal is spread out or "dispersed". The dispersal characteristics of the interstellar medium are determined by gas density and species. We know the species by looking at absorption spectra. They plug it all into a formula and find that there are 10^6 hydrogen atoms per cubic meter in between the stars in our galaxy and there is one atom per cubic meter in between the galaxies.
