Wrong. Gravity bends space itself, so the lines *will* come out
right.


Actually, Einstein's theory of gravity bending the path of
light rays to a detached observer was proven by seeing the
"jump" of the light from a distant star as it passed near
our sun during an eclipse. The position of the star shifted
abruptly as the light ray followed the bend space coordinates
caused by the sun's gravitational field...... then shifted back
abruptly as the path moved away from the sun. Hence,
the light to a distance observer appeared 'bent".....

Actually, no. Gravity bent space itself. You are observing artifacts
of that.
