Since space is curved within the Earth's gravitational field, every body that moves there will follow the curvature of space no matter what speed it has, so what will its trajectory be, how will it be straight, only if the launch is made absolutely vertically towards sea level? Only then can it...

"the resulting "combined" wave may have wave packets that pass an observer at a slower rate."
This is an assumption. Is this observed elsewhere, in a TV antenna for example?
Oscillation of the free electrons (i.g. inside a TV antenna) is known. Oscillation of the orbital electrons inside a material is unknown to me (not aware of QM).
It has an explanation for the slowing down. It has an explanation for the divergence. But it doesn't explain how is Snell's law deduced from the slowing down.
Energy decrease means frequency decrease.
Many issues arise. 1. Since wave is spreading according to Huygens law in wavefronts, how it reaches the interface between the materials at an angle? The figure shows an arbitrarily cuted section of wavefronts to create a "light ray". 2. Interface in microscale is not flat but consists of...
This study considers a uniform circular motion in a ring of radius α. Provided that these math apply to a perfect circle circuit, then does not apply to an ellipsoid electric coil or an irregular circuit.
