Light "thinks" it is going straight. The warped space it is travelling through is the only thing not straight.
You have to be "outside" to see this effect.

Just like here on earth we don't feel like we're whizzing around in space at thousands of miles per hour.
Simple relativity.

Why isn't there some mechanism to rep same people twice? Argh!!!!!

Nicely explained in such a manner so as the dum dums like me can grasp in the fullest.
