Here's a question that's caught my attention off and on for awhile now. Picture a star in the middle of an S-shaped string of black holes with its position being slightly to the left of the bottom part of the S that faces us and slightly to the right of the top part of the S. Gravity from the bottom half directs the star's light away from us so we never see it. Gravity from the top half twists it so it eventually heads back straight towards us. The question is, with an unknown number of black holes interfering with the path that a star's light takes, how can we tell how far away they really are, or where they really are? Knowing the answer to this might help solve the horizon problem.

This might be a problem in a system with only one star, only one telescope, and an unknown number of black holes. However, if I am not mistaken, astronomers have at their disposal loads and loads of stars, thousands of telescopes, lots of fancy math, and computers, all of which would eventually determine a more exact position of the star.
Gravitons not only have influence upon photons, but they have resonance as well. So the influence is not linear with respect to all the mass that exists out in the Universe. Picture a vortex in a stream, the closer a leaf floats by the vortex the more of a deflection occurs. The same with photons. Light sources may appear to be in much different positions than observed. Also, graviton resonance may account for the possibility that the Universe expands and contracts periodically over many trillions of years as the graviton resonance nodes redistribute with the interactive moving of matter. Like a blob of mercury on a plate with a vertical vibrating component. The Universe indeed may in actuality be much different than it appears. But how do we modify our calculations to account for these theoretical influences? If we actually were part of a random blob of moving matter and energy and the spirals we see are actually just the effects of photons moving through complex fields of energy, what difference would it make?
A good question.The solution : Earth is not at a fixed place think of summer winter. We also move with our Sun (and quite fast too..)
So blackholes who temper with stars light can be found if the sky looks differently once in a while. In fact they detect many strange things in the sky just by comparing old photo's. One can compare background radiation IR light distortion or star light to find blackholes.
Until some degree we know quite a bit of our suroundings in space this way
if i am reading your listing correctly, i conclude that you think that the light will be routed through the chain of black holes, like some stellar optical cable, which is incorrect, they absorb the light, or may alter its path by temporarily causing the photons to almost orbit, but they do not convey light. secondly, if the star is close enough to have all of its light consumed by a black hole, it is too close to avoid being consumed.
