Light travels more or less in a straight line from its source so it will never go round the earth and come back, so don`t hold your breath while you are waiting

If you had an extreamly powerful tourch that could shine all the way around the earth how long would it take for the beam of light to go around the earth and hit you on the back?
in general i don't think we have a light that strong to go higher then the skies!!!! u would have to be on a angle to make it go around the earth. I think it would take about the range of minutes to seconds. that is my thought though . if you did have a light that power full it would take a black hole on the othere side of the earth to suck the light around the earth , because light can bend to a certain point .
