Hahaha! Got caught there didn't you diaper...Of course it's parabolic.

Bull. Light speeds up as it falls. It follows a parabola in a moving frame just
like any object would.

that's totally irrelevant.

Do you have any evidence for this, or is this just another one of your
personal feelings masquerading as 'science' ?

Saying 'hyperbola' is exactly two words than your non-answer. Yet you choose
to go the that path.

Henri, how are people supposed to know that you are as smart as you think
you are when all you do is say stupid things?

Yes, the Pound-Rebka experiment.
Why don't you look it up at your library?

We are talking about an object falling vertically in one frame . It follows a
parabola in a horizontally moving frame. Diaper didn't want to admit a light
beam does the same.

That's right. If you knew anything about physics, you would see the similarity.
The attractive force falls off with r^2. Try using your brain for once if you
have one. You might even be able to figure out the YAW analogy too if you
really try.

we were talking about an object falling vertically downward.
Diaper said it follows a parabolic path in a horizontally moving frame.
Do you have any objections?
