it is basic biology, ie biology simplified to teach a kid in middle school. the thing is sciences don't stop at middle school level. a lot of university education is about clarifying that things you learned before were simplified to the point that they're practically useless if not outright wrong.

Light travels in straight lines, next year its a wave and then its particles. What you said isso true about uni rethreading.

To be fair light does travel in straight lines (more or less... ignoring that nothing travels in any set or even single path something something veritasium video), its not lights fault if a straight line in physical reality doesn't always happen to match up with the geometry we invented.
