@neiltyson Not true. The only objective measure of the sun rise/set event "happening" is when the light reaches your eyes.

@TayZonday@neiltyson that's more of a subjective thing...the whole light reaching "your"eyes part I mean -
@silinonte@neiltyson Since the event has only subjective observers, it's wrong to assert your observiation deviates from an objective one. -
@TayZonday well then I objectively disagree with you sir, enjoy being right -
@silinonte But to be fair, nobody should have 140 characters evaluated with too much zest or rigor. ;-)

@neiltyson I thought light couldn't bend? -
@DubDss
@neiltyson light is bent in a few ways! going by a black hole or a nutron star. extreme gravity or thick glass will bend light -
@IamStantall@neiltyson well thanks for all the responses I knew about the black hole bending light but not about intense gravity -
@d4rk0s@neiltyson@IamStantall: new findings@CERN Rainbow Gravity as of 3/21/15 may have been discovered! Check it out

@neiltyson: Light bends from space to air allowing rays to curve over your horizon. So you see the Sun rise before & set after it happensThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
