abstract
We consider brane cosmology studying the shortest null path on the brane for photons, and in the bulk for gravitons. We derive the differential equation for the shortest path in the bulk for a 1+4 cosmological metric. The time cost and the redshifts for photons and gravitons after traveling their respective path are compared. We consider some numerical solutions of the shortest path equation, and show that there is no shortest path in the bulk for the Randall-Sundrum vacuum brane solution, the linear cosmological solution of Bin\'etruy, et al for $\omega = -1, -{2/3}$, and for some expanding brane universes.

Astrophysical environment around a black hole in the braneworld and its optical signatures
Braneworld quadratic and nonlocal corrections weaken gravity in anisotropic Einstein-cluster environments around black holes, blocking horizon formation and shifting Einstein-ring and shadow radii in ways that may constrain brane tension for sub-stellar-mass objects.
