no science teacher would ever say that.
Light travels in a straight line, plenty of crystals, linear erosion, many trees evolved to be as straight as possible…
and to be esoteric, every object path, even when gravity affects them (they travel in a perfectly straight line, but it is spacetime that is curved).

We can say that spatially, the summation of the photons movement is linear, but everything in the universe is waves and curves and we all know that to be true

if by straight you mean a perfect eucledian line, then there’s no such thing as a perfect line in nature or reality.
as that might violate the Eisenberg Uncertainty principle. because if I know two points position or or if I know the direction and one point I’ll know the position and direction of every point.
but then that’s too esoteric.

You are clearly full of shit and have no idea what you’re talking about, and your flip-flopping between positions

it’s a meme channel, it’s a stupid question, you get stupid answers.
I’m not putting my name in a paper saying definitely of straight exist in nature.

you literally have the power to shut people up at will, just block em, faster and more effective.

Careful with those absolute statements there buddy. I was told the same by a teacher, who challenged the class to come up with natural examples of either straight lines or perfect circles. He talked about how such things cannot exist because at high enough resolution/magnification there will always be interruptions.
Your own example of light traveling in straight lines doesn’t account for the fact that photons are waves and absolutely do not travel in straight lines.

It travels in a straight line, just not in every dimension. Look at a waveform from above, it’s a straight line.
