i was musing over an idea which basically looks at the stars we see in the sky ........... can any of them be the same star?
I was looking at Orions belt and imagined the centre star of the trio producing the light of the other two ...
Sure its unlikely that the belt stars are of the same star ... but the concept led me to try and rationalise such an event occuring .
If for example a star radiated light in all directions and the light that travelled left came close to a black hole and was bent by 89.999999 degrees and travelled toward earth ... and similarly the light from the same star travelled right and encountered a different black hole , again bent at 89.99999 towards earth ...
Would observers on earth see three stars ...... one bright .. and 2 red shifted .........
I say 89.999999 deg as im unsure to what extent a black hole can bend light if a tall ....and even if the light once bent would ever escape
Any how the concept is simple is it possible that what we see in the night sky is a product of many of these black hole influences ......... that many stars are seen but there are infact less stars than we see ................... Like a hall of mirrors effect ....
Of course our telescope observations would also be subject to illussion ... so could you even detect if its true or not..
Its probably that i dont know enough about what light can do .. or maybe theres something in it ......... please reply....
Hall of mirrors.....
