Gravitational lensing paradox: no stars should be seen from earth

According to GENERAL RELATIVITY:

THE SUN CURVES SPACE.

PLANETS CIRCLE THE SUN BECAUSE SPACE IS CURVED (so they cant move in a straight line)

LIGHT EMITTED BY STARS IS ALSO BEND BY THIS CURVED SPACE (It cant just go in a straight line).

IF GR WAS TRUE, NO STAR SHOULD BE SEEN FROM EARTH OR FROM WITHIN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.

BECAUSE ITS LIGHT WILL BE BEND OR DEFLECTED BY THE EXTERIOR CURVATURE OF THE SPACE OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM

Gravitational lensing doesn't bend light headed STRAIGHT FOR for a massive object, around the object. The light headed straight for it, hits it. Gravity pulls; it doesn't push.

Gravitational lensing pulls light that would have traveled PAST the object - and off in some other direction - so that it veers closer. This is why it allows light which should be behind massive objects, to be seen from the opposite side. That's light that would have not been headed our way, but got pulled on so that it ended up here.

Lensing doesn't deflect. It pulls in. Draw a new diagram based on that and you will see your mistake.

Did you actually do the math of the deflection to come to this conclusion? Or did you just draw a picture and say "damn, must be wrong"?

This is simply not true, I think you need to investigate the field equations a bit more

Wrong idea lmao look at my comment on the other video lol

@Astro Grant Are you saying that Einsteins ideea is wrong ? Then I agree.
