Light does not have mass. It is a form of energy.
Alhazen
The verb for distortion is distort. As in "to distort something".
One of light's defining characteristics is that it does not have mass; it is instead pure energy. To answer your question, no one discovered it because it has been proven to be false.

The aspherical distortion of light through the cornea is called an astigmatism. It is caused by having an uneven cornea.

gravity is a distortion in space-time, and when light passes through it, the distortion acts like a lens and bends the light eg- things look twisted around a black holes event horizon because of the massive gravity
he discovered that light has 7 colours
Sir W. Crookes discovered the Properties of Light in 1879.
UV Light was discovered by Johann Wilhelm Ritter, in 1801
The twinkling of stars is caused by the light from them being distorted by the earth's atmosphere.
The light bulb was not something that existed and had to be discovered. It was a new thing that was invented.
Sir Frederick William Herschel discovered infrared light in an experiment to measure the temperature of different frequencies of light.
To - minimise the distortion of the received image due to light pollution.
Aperture distortion, also known as lens distortion or optical distortion, refers to the various aberrations or imperfections that can occur in photographs due to the characteristics of the camera lens and its aperture (the opening through which light enters the camera). These distortions can manifest in different ways: Barrel Distortion: This type of distortion causes straight lines to appear curved outward, resembling the shape of a barrel. It typically occurs with wide-angle lenses and can make objects at the edges of the frame appear stretched or bulging. Pincushion Distortion: Pincushion distortion is the opposite of barrel distortion. It causes straight lines to curve inward, like the shape of a pincushion. This distortion is more common in telephoto lenses. Chromatic Aberration: This type of distortion occurs when different wavelengths of light do not converge at the same point, resulting in color fringing, especially at high-contrast edges in an image. Vignetting: Vignetting causes the corners or edges of an image to be darker than the center. It happens when the aperture is not evenly transmitting light across the entire frame. Spherical Aberration: Spherical aberration can cause blurriness or softness in an image, particularly around the edges, due to the way light rays are bent by the lens elements. Distortion from Aperture Shape: The shape of the aperture itself (e.g., circular, hexagonal) can impact the appearance of out-of-focus highlights or "bokeh" in the background of a photograph. Photographers often aim to correct or minimize these distortions through lens design, post-processing techniques, or by choosing lenses suited to their specific needs.
a black hole cannot be ovserved, so it could not be discovered. a black hole is created when an extremely old star implodes on itself causing a distortion in space, making a hole with suction power so strong it can even trap light.
