Optical Illusions Are Everywhere in the Universe

When we look into space, we see various optical illusions such as an Einstein Cross or an Einstein Ring produced by light from a distant object passing by an intermediate object as it travels to Earth, thereby gravity bends the light around the intermediary object to produce either four separate images of the same object or a ring.

These optical illusions are presently only considered to occur by an intermediary object. However, when there is sufficient mass, the force of gravity of that mass can cause drastically increased gravitational lensing of light so as to produce these same types of optical illusions but on a much grander scale.

One such object with sufficient mass is known as The Great Attractor.

Presently, in the mapping of the cosmos, we do not account for gravitational lensing on the large-scale. This produces extremely inaccurate mappings of physical positioning of bodies in the cosmos as well as mistaking optical illusions for the real thing. Our current way of doing things would be equivalent to if we were to say that there are four source galaxies producing an Einstein Cross; there is only one source object and gravity leads to the optical illusion of four.

When we look in at the Great Attractor, where light from more proximal objects is most influenced by its gravity due to it passing closest to it, we see a telling image of a vast Einstein cross, so large that it has gone unnoticed by even those producing the maps, as they were not looking for evidence of such large-scale gravitational lensing.

Willmer et al. studied two of these four galaxy clusters, A3574 and S753, to determine if they were gravitationally influencing one another. Here is what they have to say:

STUDIES OF NEARBY POOR CLUSTERS: A3574 AND S753, Willmer et al., 1991, The Astronomical Journal

In other words, they first state that both galaxy clusters have masses of the same order of magnitude. Then, they go on to say that there is no evidence of them gravitationally interacting with one another, even though they "are very near each other."

This is because they are the same galaxy cluster. Optical illusions do not gravitationally interact with one another; they are optical illusions. However, they do have the same apparent mass.

This demonstrates that the apparent large-scale universe is greatly influenced by gravitational lensing and its components are drastically different in physical positioning than they appear, as well as many are the same objects producing large-scale optical illusions that we have not recognized.

This additionally demonstrates that light from distant galaxies is being gravitationally lensed. Therefore, it fundamentally disproves the Big Bang because the model is based on the assumption that all objects are moving apart from one another linearly. In reality, light from distant galaxies is so drastically gravitationally lensed that it flows in a Figure-8 orbital and then at various times in this orbital arrives at Earth.

Our observations of redshift per distance of the light from these galaxies are then produced by gravitational redshift due to this flow pattern, and has nothing whatsoever to do with the physical motion of the galaxy away from Earth. Expansion of space and dark energy are both misinterpretations due to lack of accounting for gravitational lensing.
