So does this thing actually bend light towards it? or is it merely trapping the light that happens to touch it? seems to me it would be impossible for this thing to actually bend light towards it. I’m not so sure of the usefulness of this invention.

"So does this thing actually bend light towards it? "

"steering"or "bouncing" or "continuously reflecting" might be better descriptors...

But then, that wouldn't sound as impressive when begging for the next grant-renewal, grant, or other funding...
