Findings show that important fundamental principles of mathematical Physics are consistently misapplied to
concepts of gravitational lensing or just simply ignored. The thin plasma atmosphere of the sun represents
an indirect interaction involving an interfering plasma medium between the gravitational field of the sun and
the rays of light from the stars. There is convincing observational evidence that a direct interaction between
light and gravitation in empty vacuum space is yet to be observed. Historically, the observed evidence of light
bending occurred predominantly near the plasma rim of the sun, not in the vacuum space far above the rim. An
intense search of the star filled sky will reveal a clear lack of lensing exists among the countless numbers of stars,
where the lens and the source are by good chance co-linearly aligned with the earth based observer. With this
condition at hand and assuming the validity of the light bending rule of General Relativity, the sky should be
filled with images of Einstein rings. Moreover, the events taking place at the center of our galaxy under intense
observations by the astrophysicists since 1992, presents convincing evidence that a direct interaction between
light and gravitation simply does not take place. This highly studied region, known as Sagittarius A*, is thought
to contain a super massive black hole, a most likely candidate for gravitational lensing. The evidence is clearly
revealed in the time resolved images of the rapidly moving stellar objects orbiting about Sagittarius A*.
