This was rejected already and explained to you in the previous thread you being a stonewall as usual refused to listen to what was explained to you
Copy and pasting what you said previously doesn’t change anything still a NO

I didnt even get time to respond and you strawmanned
 
then your OP should have been a clearer response... But in any case, this isn't going to change. It was explained already.
 
"How did this self-bending work? Light is a jumble of waves, and their peaks and troughs can interfere with one another. For example, a peak passing a trough cancels each other out to create darkness; a peak passing another peak "interferes constructively" to create a bright spot. Now, imagine light emitted from a wide strip—perhaps a fluorescent tube or, better, a laser whose output has been expanded. By carefully controlling the initial position of the wave peaks—the phase of the waves—at every step along the strip, it is possible to make the light traveling outward interfere constructively at only points on a curve and cancel out everywhere else. The Airy function, which contains rapid but diminishing oscillations, proved an easy way to define those initial phases—except that the resultant light would bend only up to about 8°."

Not just an illusion though
 
It is true though. The main beam can bend, and even burn through things. There should be circumstances where light can bend, but only if sub-criteria are met.
