This means light (refraction) will be affected by gravity and speed change despite that light is probability wave before it&#8217;s certainized by a receiver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if in fixed exterior coordinates, interior length stretching is an explanation equal and parallel to shrinking\/slowing, then we should be able to observe the exact effect of light stretching interior length of space, which is obviously not true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this universe is filled with electromagnetic wave everywhere, if light can stretch interior or effective actual length of space, this universe&#8217;s interior or effective actual space will be stretched to infinite long anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, the stretching description in GR should be understood as a mathematical convenience or an equivalent parallel view, rather than the literal physical reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the true reality of this universe is object\/signal shrinking\/slowing at gravity and motion within a fixed exterior rectangular grid coordinate, which is consistent with GR&#8217;s math and all observations including those inconsistent with space stretching explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gemini: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This confirms that the &#8216;bending&#8217; we see isn&#8217;t the road growing longer, but the car shrinking and slowing down on a fixed road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can feel a bit deflating to realize the most famous &#8220;trampoline&#8221; analogy in science is more of a mathematical convenience than a physical reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Standard General Relativity (GR) isn&#8217;t necessarily &#8220;wrong&#8221; in its math\u2014it\u2019s just an Observer\u2019s View.
