Yet your making assumptions about me without knowing nothing. I am not the type to just post random shit from god knows whoever made it on youtube etc.
Now yes the internet has several great areas if one is interested in these matters. Most are just long as papers posted at assorted .edu sites.

I have no problems with light bending, it does and will. Just like space bends or shall I say sinks around items of tremendous mass. Light will also bend when around black holes. I just had curiosity about what I first quoted as to what theory that was - obviously so that I could look it up and read it. (again thanks for not posting it and going on attack instead).

Here is the line I had issue with "if you take this theory it could basically mean that light or any other matter travelling out far enough in the universe, re-enters universe in a different corner." No issue with light bending. Just issue and interest in what theory has light or any other matter leaving the universe (guessing our known edge) - would re-enter the universe in another location (guessing he meant that since I am fairly certain he did not mean a literal "corner").
I said no offense and it was not meant to be derogatory. Classically trained means physical studies, in the lab, etc.

As for your issue about his statement I explained how he is wrong and what would happen to light when it begins reaching the edges of the universe. That is why I said I hope that helps. I don't have any links to give you just the information that I have. That stuff is pretty 101 stuff and I figured you could take what I gave you and find more if you wanted.

Not sure what your level of study is at but if you are interested I could recommend some good books to read.

In regards to your interest in the creation of the universe, check out a book called "Big Bang: The Origin of the Universe" by Simon Singh. It is a pretty comprehensive book on the history of astronomy and physics.
