Assuming the post is true, they why do we see the light from galaxies over 10 billion light years away? Surely the "light horizon" would prevent that. And if light is bent 90 degrees, them that would only direct us to see them as being in "front" of us. But we would still see them. Seems to be something missing in the argument. Please explain what evidence exists for the "light horizon" from non black hole sources.
Interesting idea though. Needs some evidence.
