    The math that describes light in one reference frame is a mathematically perfect straight line. In a different reference frame the math that describes light is curved.

    Just like a straight line in one coordinate system can be transformed into a curved line in another system.

      You’re just repeating yourself. It doesn’t make you right.

      A straight line in a curved space that adheres to the curved space is still a curved line. An actual straight line exists between the two same points that is shorter than the path light would take. That is the mathematical minimum distance.
