  "A curvature of rays of light can only take place when the velocity of 
propagation of light varies with position."

  "Position"? What "position"?

  ("....constancy of the velocity of light in vacuo" ([vacuo]))

-------------

  With constancy of CHANGE in the universe at large and at small --  
therefore constancy of MOTION existing both ways, "position" is always 
relative....never absolute. Therefore "velocity" (of the positioned) is 
always relative....never absolute. Therefore UNOBSERVED space-time (0) is 
never quite one with OBSERVED space-time (-). Usually far from it. Most 
usually, far, far, far from it. Curvature proceeding from slight to great 
and vice-versa. Even to infinite from infinitesimal, and vice-versa.

  The speed (+/-) 300,000 kps (the speed of light) (c) is universal to those 
very, very, localized space-times (0). Singularly photo-constant. "Very, 
very, localized" equals..... (sic) "very, very, localized" (singularly 0=0). 
Infinity is an unobservable constant of the Universe which everywhere 
[locally] collapses to a finite, therefore observable, universal 
HORIZON-CONSTANT (one horizon-constant of the [local] universe) such as the 
constant of c, the constant of the speed of light. "Local" ..... "finite" 
..... the infinitesimal point universe(s) existing within the context of 
infinite Universe. Yet infinitesimal and infinite are singularly dual being, 
singularly a duality, actually a naked singularity distinctively divided -or 
ordered- into two (and infinitely more than two, as well as infinitely less 
than one) only [relatively] speaking (only [locally] speaking (only 
[finitely] speaking)).

  "Position"? What "position"?
