Actually, by using gravity waves you could have the same. Gravity waves, if constructive, would do the same with the acoustics black hole. We already
know that two large masses of equal amount destroy each other's gravity and make 0 gravity in between (hence why there is a slight difference in your
weight when the moon is above you directly). If you could create two uneven spheres, there would be plenty of logic in propagating waves that are
constructive. do it in such a way that the waves are maximums and not minimums, and you could create accelerated relativity.
Also, with the refraction, that's different. because the light is still moving, therefore information can reach it. If there is a region of space
where light is stopped or simply has no way of reaching without going faster than light, then information cannot reach this location. Refracting waves
is not stopping the light nor is it preventing them from reaching the target without going faster than light. It is just bouncing the light away.
Totally different concept.
