Hmmm, someone told me that the definition of a straight line
(in vacuum) is the line a light beam would follow and that
space itself is curved by gravitational fields;-)

The article claims curved paths for the electromagnetic
radiation without any reference to relativistic effects.
I am really curious to know whether its ideas have reached
popular science journals outside Sweden;-)
