i studied physics to a level always shown a keen interest in science,a big fan of carl sagan and hiesenberg, he had an effect upon me.

so let me get this right if you are driving your car at the speed of light and you turn your headlight on ......nothing happens ?
No. Go check out the word "Relativity".

The sun's motion does not affect our "sunrise".

The rotation of the earth does.

so if light has 0 mass why cant it escape a black hole? and surely sun rise is the motion of the earth not the sun actualy moving or amI wrong?and light even with 0 mass can be bent in a vacum.
Gravity bends light. The more gravity you have, the more the light bends.

and

Light doesn't need a vacuum to "get bent" (refract).


“Light” beer is horrible.

gravity cant bend light it bends the space/time and refraction kinks light not a bend.the earths atmosphere actually slows light down.but because a photon has 0 mass I am not sure why.light travels slowest through diamond.and the universe expansion is traveling faster than light.

clicking this link from my photon based operating browser has created a light loop from which i cannot exit, but, i am allowed to dispute its very existence by using the same photons not yet created by the passing of the energy in reverse

it tickles

So at least in Germany "Sonnenufgang" is defined, when you observe the sun coming over the horizon, that the incoming light is actually a bit dated at that time is not of relevance.
Since the sun is emitting the light in all directions (quai) homogenously. The light is alredy 8 minutes travelling, but is arrives directly at the sunrise time.

Well I can turn the light off and be in bed before it goes dark. 🙂 😛

i modified my eureka vacuum cleaner to produce more power
it sucks so well that it consumed all the photons in the shack


dammit it's dark in here
