If I'm correct in thinking light curves towards objects with less entropy; why wouldn't the path of least resistance be towards entropy?

I was thinking that light bends towards a star and a star has less entropy that the surrounding space.Nugatory said:You are not correct, which kind of takes the fun out of the rest of the question.

No, light can curve or bend when it passes through different mediums or is affected by gravity.
In this context, "ordered" refers to the organization and alignment of light particles or waves, which can be influenced by various factors such as the medium it travels through or the presence of a gravitational force.
Gravity can cause light to bend or curve, a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing. This is because gravity can warp the fabric of space, altering the path of light as it travels through it.
Yes, light can still be affected by gravity and therefore can curve even in a vacuum where there is no medium for it to travel through.
Yes, light can also be curved or refracted when passing through different mediums with varying densities, such as air or water. This is known as refraction.
