Welcome to the Space Time and the Universe.
Photon question Does the rotation of a star affect the photons it emits trajectory?

Re: Photon question You mean, does it cause the trajectory to curve significantly?Originally Posted by roncj5
Re: Photon question From what I understand a photon always travels at the speed of light in a straight line. So the question would be if there was enough of a relativistic drag going on to curve space-time near the star.
I would assume no. Unless it was either a quickly rotatating neutron star OR a SM black hole.
Re: Photon question any deviation from straight. if so could the curve be so slight that over relativly short cosmic distances it appears straight

Re: Photon question Right, but over relatively long distances, it appears straighter yet.
