Although I was not going to discuss science again having left my state of delusions of grandeur, I have been thinking about light. I turn on the light switch. The light is pulled towards my wall at c?
Assuming that one compreeends the reality from behind the question, the light does not know the wal was there, the bulb (witch is made from matter) is existing in correlation with everything including the wall, but that does not means anything, eliminate, the wall, you yourself, let only reamning light, space and the bulb... Light will away move away from the worce in straight line,

The light is pulled towards my wall at c?In no sense whatsoever can it be said that light is pulled towards anything or pushed from anything. Light is merely propagating in accordance with the laws of nature (in this case Maxwell's equation describes it all). If you were in the international space station and, inside the station, you were moving relative to the station and towards a wall. Do you see any sense in which it can be said that the wall was pulling you? Or can you see any reason why another wall was pushing you? No. A push or a pull is something which is caused by a force and no force exists,other than the gravitational force, which can push or pull light.
How does the wall know when and what to pull?
How does the light decide on a direction of travel in the first place? When it is emitted how does the source 'push' it in a certain direction? How can the source push at the speed of light?

Light seems to me to be able to move at C, at the speed of light,
