| Jan 9, 2012 at 7:31 | comment | added | Ron Maimon | @FrankH: this is true, but there is a subtlety for nearly outward light--- it will stay put (almost) and slowly wind around the horizon. Will it leak in (or out) before making a full turn? This is hard to determine by pure order of magnitude. | |
