Did the Titanic Sink Because of an Optical Illusion?

Fascinating! I've not run across that before. It does seem to explain a number of things--though the light seen by Mrs Astor and pointed out by Captain Smith would seem to indicate a smaller ship of the type (apparently) seen by the Californian.

Still--an interesting and thought provoking theory . . . . Thanks.
