    Why bother about distant Mercury. Explain whether or not the temperature
    below you feet at the centre of the Earth is very hot or very cold.

    Arindam's physics says it will be very cold. For the magnetic field of
    the Earth is a fact. That constant currents create a magnetic field is a
    fact. That extremely cold conditions create Superconducting is a fact.
    That piezoelectric effect create current is a fact.

    With all those facts we have to conclude that the temperatures in the
    cores of heavenly bodies are very low.

    Now what effect will this approach have upon the hot fusion theories?
    Out they must go.

    Woof-woof

    https://paulba.no/paper/Shapiro_1968.pdf

    But since you invariably fail to understand and always misinterpret
    what you read, it probably is no point in trying to read it.

    Moreover, Shapiro's paper is titled
    FOURTH TEST OF GENERAL RELATIVITY: --PRELIMINARY RESULTS-- [Emph. JJL]

    For Shipiro the results were at the edge of what was technically
    possible to detect, -at the time-.
    Nowadays taking Shapiro delay has to be incorporated
    into space probe tracking and orbit determination.
    Nutters worry about popular reports of the original experiment,
    while the results themselves are standard everyday engineering.

    Hint for RH:
    All interplanetry spacecraft are equipped with transponders.
    These devices respond to an incoming radio pulse by responding
    with a reply pulse, with a known delay.
    The replies are of course detected routinely,
    and measured delays are used for orbit calculation and navigation.

    More hint for RH: radar echos diminish with r^-4,
    and are soon lost in the noise.
    Transponder reception and response goes with r^-2,
    and still works reliably for spacecraft beyond PLuto,
    like the Voyagers. All you need is a big radio dish.

    Final hint: The Parker near solar probe for example
    would be hopelessly lost if Shapiro delay on its signals
    wouldn't be taken into account correctly.
    While you whine about it the mission engineers who fly the thing
    routinely take it into account without even giving it another thought,

    Shapiro Time Delay Using Newtonian Gravitation

    So now your point is that Shapiro's measurements
    were correct, but Newton predicts the same as GR? :-D

    It is never too late to change your mind when
    you have realised that Shapiro delay isn't a HOAX.


    https://www.qeios.com/read/IVCVBM

    A very interesting paper due to fig 2.

    In 1971 Shapiro made new measurements with
    the Arecibo telescope.

    https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.26.1132
    "Fourth Test of General Relativity: New Radar Result"
    Quote:
    " Abstract
    New radar observations yield a more stringent test of the predicted
    relativistic increase in echo times of radio signals sent from Earth
    and reflected from Mercury and Venus. These "extra" delays may be
    characterized by a parameter 𝜆 which is unity according to general
    relativity and 0.93 according to recent predictions based on a scalar-
    tensor theory of gravitation. We find that 𝜆=1.02. The formal standard
    error is 0.02, but because of the possible presence of systematic
    errors we consider 0.05 to be a more reliable estimate of the
    uncertainty in the result."

    Look at fig. 2.
    It shows the measurements with Haystack in 1965 and
    with Arecibo in 1971 (1970?).
    Shapiro's prediction for the Shapiro delay is now
    confirmed to within 5%.

    Thanks for the reference, Richard!

    --------------------

    But does Newton predict the same delay as GR for the Shapiro delay?

    See equation (2) : mₚ = Eₚ/c²

    This is the reference given for this equation:
    R. Skinner, Relativity for Scientists and Engineers,
    Dover, New York, 1982.

    Say no more! :-D

    Here is a correct derivation of the Newtonian prediction: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2001.00229

    Quite.
    You thought this was a Newtonian derivation of the prediction
    for the Shapiro delay:
    https://www.qeios.com/read/IVCVBM

    You wrote:
    "No space curved is necessary. Newton cover all the basis and
    RELATIVITY AND SPACETIME CURVATURES have no place here."

    You believed that Newton could predict what you called
    "1971 Shapiro's formula". See attachment.

    You wrote:
    "Observe the details of the measurements with Venus in 1970."
    See fig.2 in the attachment.

    You believed that the Newtonian prediction was an exact
    fit to Shapiro's measurements. So GR is crap and isn't needed.

    Which means that you now have accepted that Shapiro's
    measurements of the delay were correct, and no HOAX.

    What you were not aware of is that the equation in
    the attachment is the GR prediction, and _not_ the Newtonian
    prediction. So the figure in the attachment shows a perfect
    fit between the GR prediction and Shapiro's measurements.

    The point is that Stephan Gift's paper
    https://www.qeios.com/read/IVCVBM
    is nonsense.

    Gift has "stolen" the equation and figure from Pössel
    and has done some mathemagic to make it seem that
    the equation is the Newtonian prediction, which it is not.

    This is the paper with the correct Newtonian prediction: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2001.00229
    M Pössel: "The Shapiro time delay and the equivalence principle"

    Note that the equation you call "1971 Shapiro's formula"
    is equation (27) in this paper.
    Quote:
    "Formulas (17) and (19) for one-way travel, corrected by
    the multiplication of the delay term with an overall factor
    2 to go from the Newtonian to the general-relativistic result,
    Δt = (2GM/c³)⋅ln((r_E+x_E)/(rₚ-xₚ)) (27).

    So equation (27) is the GR prediction.

    Your figure (2) is FIG.6 in this paper.
    It is Pössel who has drawn this figure with the GR prediction
    equation (27) and measurements from: Irwin I. Shapiro et al.,
    "Fourth Test of General Relativity: New Radar Result,"

    To go from the Newtonian prediction to the GR prediction
    by multiplication by two is Pössel's idea:

    Quote:
    "Begin by presenting the simplified derivation developed in this
    section. This will yield a result that has the correct functional
    dependence on the geometry, but is off by an overall factor 2.
    Give the students the additional information that a more thorough
    derivation, which includes the curvature of space, will yield a
    result that has an additional factor 2. After that statement, you
    can use the corrected formula, with the extra factor of 2, to
    consider applications such as the ones presented in section V,
    where the Shapiro time delay formula is used to compare predictions
    with data."

    So sorry, Richard, you have yet again made a fool of yourself.

    But at least you have finally accepted that Shapiro's
    measurements of the delay were correct, and no HOAX.

    for the Shapiro delay:
    https://www.qeios.com/read/IVCVBM

    You wrote:
    "No space curved is necessary. Newton cover all the basis and
      RELATIVITY AND SPACETIME CURVATURES have no place here."

    You believed that Newton could predict what you called
    "1971 Shapiro's formula".  See attachment.

    You wrote:
    "Observe the details of the measurements with Venus in 1970."
    See fig.2 in the attachment.

    You believed that the Newtonian prediction was an exact
    fit to Shapiro's measurements. So GR is crap and isn't needed.

    Which means that you now have accepted that Shapiro's
    measurements of the delay were correct, and no HOAX.

    What you were not aware of is that the equation in
    the attachment is the GR prediction, and _not_ the Newtonian
    prediction. So the figure in the attachment shows a perfect
    fit between the GR prediction and Shapiro's measurements.

    The point is that Stephan Gift's paper
    https://www.qeios.com/read/IVCVBM
    is nonsense.

    Gift has "stolen" the equation and figure from Pössel
    and has done some mathemagic to make it seem that
    the equation is the Newtonian prediction, which it is not.

    This is the paper with the correct Newtonian prediction:
    https://arxiv.org/pdf/2001.00229
    M Pössel: "The Shapiro time delay and the equivalence principle"

    Note that the equation you call "1971 Shapiro's formula"
    is equation (27) in this paper.
    Quote:
      "Formulas (17) and (19) for one-way travel, corrected by
      the multiplication of the delay term with an overall factor
      2 to go from the Newtonian to the general-relativistic result,
       Δt = (2GM/c³)⋅ln((r_E+x_E)/(rₚ-xₚ))            (27). >>
    So equation (27) is the GR prediction.

    Your figure (2) is FIG.6 in this paper.
    It is Pössel who has drawn this figure with the GR prediction
    equation (27) and measurements from: Irwin I. Shapiro et al.,
    "Fourth Test of General Relativity: New Radar Result,"

    To go from the Newtonian prediction to the GR prediction
    by multiplication by two is Pössel's idea:

    Quote:
    "Begin by presenting the simplified derivation developed in this
      section. This will yield a result that has the correct functional
      dependence on the geometry, but is off by an overall factor 2.
      Give the students the additional information that a more thorough
      derivation, which includes the curvature of space, will yield a
      result that has an additional factor 2. After that statement, you
      can use the corrected formula, with the extra factor of 2, to
      consider applications  such as the ones presented in section V,
      where the Shapiro time delay formula is used to compare predictions
      with data."

    So sorry, Richard, you have yet again made a fool of yourself.

    But at least you have finally accepted that Shapiro's
    measurements of the delay were correct, and no HOAX.

    I am the one laughing at your ability to misinterpret a text.

    SO, I PUT YOU TO WORK, WHILE I EXPECT YOUR RESPONSE SMILING. BECAUSE IN

    Paul Andersen posted, without a bit of shame, the following:

    GR predicts that the gravitational deflection of em-radiation
    by the Sun, observed from the Earth, is:

    θ = 2GM/(AU⋅c²)⋅(1+cosφ)/sinφ

    Where:
    AU= an astronomical unit (distance Sun-Earth)
    φ = angle Sun-Earth as observed from the Earth
    c = speed of light in vacuum
    G = Gravitational constant
    M = solar mass


    Your formula, that you wrote with sheer cockiness claiming that it's
    what GR predicts (false), contain an incredible amount of nonsense.

    Your pretentious formula couldn't be more wrong for the following:

    1) You are dismissing completely the effect of swapping the Sun's
    reference frame with that of the Earth.

    2) You are dismissing completely the FACT that Earth is a sphere, and thatthe observation of an eclipse at any given location depend on the position of the observer (latitude, longitude). Also, you FORGOT that
    the position of the Sun relative to Earth's coordinates DEPEND on the
    time of the year, as well the exact hour of the phenomenon. Earth
    rotates around the Sun, with reference to the ecliptic plane, with an
    anual variation of ± 11.5 degrees!!!

    3) Also, the position of the Sun with reference to the LOCAL
    equatorial coordinate DEPENDS on the time of the day!! Because
    the Earth rotates daily.

    4) You FORGOT that the path of incoming light DEPENDS ON the
    ELEVATION of the Sun over the horizon. This causes that the light
    of the Sun (and stars behind it) SUFFER A CONSIDERABLE NUMBER OF PERTURBATIONS. One ofthe most important is the REFRACTION of the
    light passing through atmosphere, being minimal at noon. Even so,
    elevation angle at noon
    CHANGES PERMANENTLY, while the Earth travels around the Sun. The
    elevation is MINIMAL in winter and MAXIMAL in summer. Only in the
    locations over the equatorial line, you can obtain 90 degrees of
    elevation in summer time.

    5) You dismiss completely the fact that the position of the Sun, in
    the moment of any eclipse, is almost arbitrary, and very far from
    being at90 degrees respect to the Sun.

    ARE YOU CRAZY? I ASK THIS VERY SERIOUSLY.


    Your blunder is not realising that my formula, which I "wrote with
    sheer cockiness" is the 'normal' equation used by astronomers,
    and not my invention.
    You didn't know that the equation for the total deflection,
    and the equation for the deflection observed from the Earth
    are different.
    And all your points 1) to 5) have obviously nothing to do
    in the equation θ = 2GM/(AU⋅c²)⋅(1+cosφ)/sinφ
    Some of them can affect the _measurements_ of φ

    But claiming that the equation θ = 2GM/(AU⋅c²)⋅(1+cosφ)/sinφ
    is wrong because I am "dismissing completely the FACT that Earth
    is a sphere" is beyond hilarious! :-D

    Why do you call the spacecraft Cassini "MY BELOVED CRETIN CASSINI"?

    And how can a spacecraft "go from one formula to another formula"?

    Could it be that you are a bit confused? :-D


    1965 Shapiro formula for delay

    Δt≈4GM/c³(ln [(xᵖ+√(xᵖ²+d²))/(-xₑ+√(xₑ²+d²)))]-1/2[xᵖ/√(xᵖ²+d²)+(2xₑ+xᵖ)/√(xₑ²+d²)])


    d: Closest approach of wave to the center of the Sun.
    xₑ: Distance from Earth to the closest approach to the Sun.
    xᵖ: Distance from xₑ to the planet.


    TO THIS ONE, SIX YEARS LATER (AND STILL COOKING AND FUDGING):

    1971 Shapiro formula for delay

    Δt ≈ 2GM/c³ (ln [(rₑ + xₑ )/(rᵖ - xᵖ)]

    Why do you find it strange that 4GM/c³(ln[(xᵖ+√(xᵖ²+d²))/(-xₑ+√(xₑ²+d²)))]-1/2[xᵖ/√(xᵖ²+d²)+(2xₑ+xᵖ)/√(xₑ²+d²)])
    ≈ 2GM/c³ (ln [(rₑ + xₑ )/(rᵖ - xᵖ)])

    It's an approximation.

    If you compare fig.3 in
    https://paulba.no/paper/Shapiro_1968.pdf
    to fig.6 in
    https://arxiv.org/pdf/2001.00229
    you will see that the functions are quite similar.

    The numeric difference is because the former is for Mercury
    while the latter is for Venus.

    1. For Venus: over a distance of more than 260 million Km (Earth and
    Venus on opposite side of the Sun), being that light takes about 867
    seconds for a 1-Way trip, a Shapiro's delay of about 150 usec MAKES

    Only to show that GR is a real thing? IMBECILES.

    2. If there is no alignment of planets in such a way that they are on a
    line of sight VERY FAR FROM SUN'S SURFACE, the alleged delay fall 10
    times, and the "error" is then about 0.43 ppm. DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW IMBECILES ARE IN BELIEVING THAT THIS IS IMPORTANT?

    WHO, IN ITS SANE STATE OF MIND, CAN AFFIRM THAT THIS HIPPARCOS HOAX HAS

    INSANE PEOPLE, IDIOT PEOPLE, IGNORANT PEOPLE, USELESS PEOPLE, ETC.
    And worse, these "scientists" make a good living standard BY STEALING
    MONEY from Universities, government funds, etc.

    They are PARASITES OF SCIENCE. They CONTRIBUTE IN NOTHING to the
    advancement of REAL SCIENCE, which makes a path clear for new
    technological solutions.


    Remember: USELESS SCIENCE PARASITES THAT DON'T WORTH THE AIR THEY

    And that is the REAL HOAX about GR: LEACHES STEALING VALID RESOURCES TO PRODUCE NOTHING, PROTECTING BETWEEN THEMSELVES AGAINST OPPOSITION, AND DEFENDING THE CHICKEN THAT THEY STEAL FROM WHO REALLY NEED IT, DEVOURING
    IT FOR FREE (SARCASM HERE).

    THE HOAX IS TO CLAIM THAT WORKS IN THIS LINE OF DOING HAVE ANY MERIT.

    Nobody can demonstrate the stupidity of Richard Hertz better than you!

    I insist that you are an ignorant idiot pretending to know something
    about radio/laser communications.

    You are the one who started this by asserting that passive reflections
    of EM radiation decay with 1/r?, and not the usual 1/r?. This stupidity
    alone is enough to disqualify you for any further discussion about EM propagation in outer space. Any RF/laser engineering expert would put
    you on the "IGNORE LIST", just for being such a donkey.

    I should have expressed myself more carefully there.
    Meant was of course an extra factor 4 for twice the distance.

    I have to remark a couple of things:

    1. If you are a woman, I apologize. I only call names to men. Even more,
    I withdraw my comments about your stupidity and ignorance, and let
    you to chose what you are. Of course that you're not a connoisseur on
    these subjects.

    My my, a Frenchie pretending to be a gentleman.

    2. You didn't let me know which are your academical degrees. Let me
    know, as it would help a lot to understand some biases of your
    thoughts.

    Three doctorates and two Nobel prizes, just like you.

    3. You keep insisting with transponders and their importance, as if I
    had written anything about them. On the contrary, I showed to you
    that transponders are essential in space (and earthly) travels.

    You were obviousy ignorant of the importance of them
    in the context of precise space navigation.

    4. It makes me sad your ignorance about what is required for space
    travel's guidance. It seems that you didn't read a single word of
    what I wrote on this matter.

    I did, it is nonsense.

    5. Shapiro's delay is IRRELEVANT in space travel. Completely useless.
    Any space flight is computed IN REAL TIME with many sophisticated
    optical and EM based techniques, like triangulations with WELL KNOWN
    trajectories of selected celestial bodies (planets, moons, asteroids)
    plus the traditional guidance by well known fixed stars.

    Those 'sophisticated optical and EM based techniques'
    do need relativistic corrections.
    (at the present level of accuracy)

    There is no 3D celestial GPS to be used in space flights. A link
    with Earth stations are UNIDIMENSIONAL in a 3D space.

    It is necessary to do a complete integration
    involving the whole solar system to know where everything is.
    (to a hundred meters or so, limited mainly by asteroid noise)
    This is of course an expert job. (for JPL for example)
    It requires a lot of computational power.

    The accuracy has increased to the point where it becomes necessary
    to give the AU a defined value, because the motions of the Earth are to
    erratic to serve as a base for it.

    Back to the point: Once you arrive at accuracies measured in nanoseconds
    the Shapiro delay becomes a correction to be applied routinely,

    Paul, you are much more stupid than I am (which I don't deny).

    An actual fact is that I recognize being 45% stupid and 55% smart, but
    you don't recognize that your stupidity reaches almost 100& since you converted to relativism, Mr. EE.

    Converted?
    I was 14 years when I read my first popular book on relativity.
    SR and GR have always been part of classical physics in my world.



    Look at your online history since you converted to the cult of
    relativism about 20 years ago. It's a SHAME, but also profiles your personality quite well.

    Coward enough to even think about alternate polemic points of view, you
    opted to adhere to relativism guidelines, and followed it religiously, because you don't have the balls to write something original of your
    own, and choose instead to compile lists of papers validating
    relativity. And this M.O. of yours is pathetic, showing your complete
    lack of originality.

    Your online life became a very sad pattern: You are fishing online,
    waiting for some post criticizing relativity and then, you resort to
    your aged library just to post references validated only in your
    community, where you feel safe and protected by mainstream relativism.

    If such a case exist where you have doubts about your belief or
    thoughts, you CAN'T show them in any post. Your position is to HIDE AND
    WAIT for some conflicting post, and then use your lame database as the
    only support for your critics. You are TERRIFIED to express any
    deviation from the "book of relativism".


    I, on the other extreme, AM LOOKING ALWAYS for the opportunity TO
    CHALLENGE relativistic credence or established points of view, and try
    to show the other side of relativism: a dark one, full of complicity,
    data manipulation, worship to a figure hyped to extremes, trying to
    prove that the entire PSEUDOSCIENCE OF RELATIVISM has ANY value in the scientific/technological world (which is absolutely true).

    Quite.
    And now we can see how much your originality and your thoughts with
    your own brain have brought to physics. Right?


    You should return (even when it's too late for you) to microprogramming
    and working as a tutor for experiments with digital electronics, instead
    of living A PARASITIC, WORTHLESS LIFE in a cloud of lies, deceptions and hidden agendas (about the value of relativism in the world).

    Thanks for your very wise words, Richard.

    I will indeed keep living A PARASITIC, WORTHLESS LIFE in a cloud
    of lies, deceptions and hidden agendas (about the value of relativism
    in the world).

    :-D


    When I wrote that I pity you, I meant it by heart.

    Of course you did.
    You are a very nice person, and will obviously pity the idiots
    who doesn't realise that all physicist born after 1900 are members
    of a MAFFIA, and profit from it, and their experimental results
    are COOKED with the help of statistical manipulations, fraud,
    cooking and peer complicity.


    Finally, try to write something of value about the importance of Shapiro
    's work or HIPPARCOS in the real world, IF YOU CAN (using your own brain exclusively).

    I can't, like you, invent how HIPPARCOS works, using my own brain
    exclusively.

    Here is how HIPPARCOS doesn't work invented by _your_ own brain exclusively:
    " Making things worse, enter the French people, stealing data from
    HIPPARCOS and claiming that they resolved the REAL POSITION of hundred
    of stars with precision in the order of tens of micro-arcseconds.
    WHO, IN ITS SANE STATE OF MIND, CAN AFFIRM THAT THIS HIPPARCOS HOAX HAS
    THE LEAST PRACTICAL VALUE?
    And all of the above, so relativists can claim that GR works?"

    But you are right, of course.

    As you can see here:
    https://sci.esa.int/web/hipparcos/-/47357-fact-sheet

    It is obvious that ESA invested €600,000,000 in a HOAX with
    the sole purpose of making the stupid relativist believe that GR works.

    The HIPPARCOS catalogue with 118218 stars charted with unprecedented
    accuracy, is clearly a fraud, which the idiot astronomers have bought.
    There is no way HIPPARCOS could measure the positions and distances with
    the precision given in that catalogue.

    Don't you agree, Richard?

    If the target cannot be modeled as a point, for instance if you are reflecting off of the ground, or if the target, say, is a corner
    reflector, then the equation will obviously be different.

    Clarification: I should have qualified "corner reflector" with
    the word "giant", of course. A small corner reflector that does
    not intercept the entire output beam would also exhibit 1/r^4
    behavior.

    Typical example: the corner reflectors on the moon.
    With a one meter telescope for beam formation,
    and the most powerful pulsed lasers that it will support
    you get about one photon back for each pulse.
    To get an observable signal overaging over pulses is needed.

    This is possible because you already know how far away the Moon is,

    Shapiro called his experiment the 4th. test of general relativity.

    I assume that the former three were:

    1. TEORETICAL: 1915 Einstein's paper on Mercury perihelion advance.
    2. EXPERIMENTAL: 1919 Eddington's experiment of starlight deflection by
    Sun's gravity.
    3. EXPERIMENTAL: 1961 Pound-Rebka experiment using a 22 meters
    trajectory of gamma rays generated by a radioactive Fe57 sample, SOME
    without recoil in the atoms that generated them.


    Shapiro's experiment was based on N�2, but transforming deflection angle
    into a linearized light trajectory in a curved spacetime. He calculated
    that light had to travel an extra amount of 68 Km when an MW beam was reflected by Mercury, on the opposite side of the Sun.

    You misunderstood that too.
    Half the effect is gravitational time dilation.
    For convenience in comparing with experiment
    the total effect -is represented- as an effective extra path length.
    (or time delay)

    A powerful, narrow wide radar beam at 8Ghz was used to capture echos from Mercury, more than 200 million Km far away. It was also used with Venus.

    One of the problems in this conception is that GR doesn't contemplate
    ANY relationship between curved spacetime and linear euclidean 3D space,
    so the equations that Shapiro developed are QUESTIONABLE.


    He replaced angular displacements by delays in the travel of light
    through the allegedly curved spacetime.

    You have to add more suspicious issues, like the extraction of the very
    weak echo from a received signal highly contaminated with noise and
    several degradations and perturbations (from the Sun and Earth itself).

    The results were re-published after heavy computer-based post-processing
    of received data, about one year after the 1971 paper.

    Now, relativism has spread the myth that Shapiro's delay is essential
    for interplanetary travel, as it's present at any distance from the Sun, INFECTING space&time perception for anything even at 90" from the axis
    center Sun-Center Earth (as computed from Earth).

    I call Shapiro's delay (some microseconds) IRRELEVANT for space travels, given the delay of light in the zone of tens of minutes for any deep
    space probe. But relativists here are in negation state of mind (and
    reason).

    Those tens of minutes can be measured to nanosecond accuracy these days.
    (by using transponders rather than radar echos)
    Precise orbit determinations depends on it.
    You are showing off your complete ignorance, once again,

    Does Gravity Deflect Light Newtonian or Twice Newtonian?

    In his Optics, Newton thought light would be affected by gravity the
    same way other particles would because he thought light was a particle.

    Henry Cavendish calculated the deflection from the Sun to be 0.875
    arcseconds, following Newton's assumption.

    In 1911, Einstein arrived at the figure of 0.83 arcseconds. He later
    decided it would be twice that, explaining that it would be Newtonian
    plus the curvature of space.

    There are two reasons, each alone sufficient to establish that this is
    false. Einstein's General Relativity claims to account for Newtonian
    gravity by the curvature of space. Then, saying curvature doubles the deflection is redundant. Second, the concept of curved space is
    logically fallacious. Because space is an abstraction, curving it would
    involve the reification fallacy. In any case, the claim of an exact
    doubling is obviously absurdly unlikely. More than that, the doubling
    claimed by relativity is without derivation in math or physics. No math
    or reasoning leads to it, but only a "2" is inserted in the equation.

    More than that, Galileo and Eotvos had established before Einstein that
    gravity affects everything equally. Aristotle had taught that heavier
    objects fall faster, and European scientists remained under his
    influence until Galileo's experiments rolled spherical balls of
    different weights down inclines. Eotvos' meticulous laboratory
    experiments showed that all elements, such as iron, lead, gold, and
    silver, are affected the same by gravity, unlike magnetism. Therefore,
    if light is affected by gravity, it should be affected the same as
    everything else.

    If deflected a different amount as it evidently was in the eclipse
    experiment, this could be either some other effect or an extraordinary exception to the rule. It would not be extraordinary if light were
    deflected by refraction, as this is a well-known property of light.
    Therefore, it is much more likely to be refraction.

    Does Gravity Deflect Light Newtonian or Twice Newtonian?

    Gravitation deflects light as predicted by GR.

    This is so thoroughly experimentally confirmed that
    there is no question about it.

    Experiments:
    https://paulba.no/paper/Shapiro_1968.pdf https://paulba.no/paper/PPN_gamma_Hipparcos.pdf https://paulba.no/paper/PPN_gamma_Cassini.pdf https://paulba.no/paper/Shapiro_2004.pdf https://paulba.no/paper/GravDeflection.pdf
    https://paulba.no/paper/Fomalont.pdf https://paulba.no/paper/PPN_gamma_Cassini_2.pdf

    A simulation of deflection of light by the Sun: https://paulba.no/Deflection.html

    https://paulba.no/pdf/GravitationalDeflection.pdf

    It's no point in speculating about this.
    It's settled!


    In his Optics, Newton thought light would be affected by gravity the
    same way other particles would because he thought light was a particle.

    Henry Cavendish calculated the deflection from the Sun to be 0.875 arcseconds, following Newton's assumption.

    In 1911, Einstein arrived at the figure of 0.83 arcseconds. He later
    decided it would be twice that, explaining that it would be Newtonian
    plus the curvature of space.

    There are two reasons, each alone sufficient to establish that this is
    false. Einstein's General Relativity claims to account for Newtonian
    gravity by the curvature of space. Then, saying curvature doubles the deflection is redundant. Second, the concept of curved space is
    logically fallacious. Because space is an abstraction, curving it would involve the reification fallacy. In any case, the claim of an exact
    doubling is obviously absurdly unlikely. More than that, the doubling
    claimed by relativity is without derivation in math or physics. No math
    or reasoning leads to it, but only a "2" is inserted in the equation.

    More than that, Galileo and Eotvos had established before Einstein that gravity affects everything equally. Aristotle had taught that heavier
    objects fall faster, and European scientists remained under his
    influence until Galileo's experiments rolled spherical balls of
    different weights down inclines. Eotvos' meticulous laboratory
    experiments showed that all elements, such as iron, lead, gold, and
    silver, are affected the same by gravity, unlike magnetism. Therefore,
    if light is affected by gravity, it should be affected the same as
    everything else.

    If deflected a different amount as it evidently was in the eclipse experiment, this could be either some other effect or an extraordinary exception to the rule. It would not be extraordinary if light were
    deflected by refraction, as this is a well-known property of light. Therefore, it is much more likely to be refraction.

    As Carl Sagan pointed out, extraordinary claims require extraordinary
    proof. Relativity claims this remarkable proof in the Shapiro time delay experiments involving the reflection of radio waves off of Mercury and
    Venus. As this discussion has shown, the radio wave experiments were not sufficiently accurate.

    Paul: You did not grasp that my argument showed relativity fails to
    predict a doubling of the Newtonian deflection of light. Therefore, no experiment showing a doubling can demonstrate that the reason for the prediction was correct. As I pointed out, relativity gives no reason.

    Paul:

    You begged the question because GR predicts doubling while Pound-Snider
    found Newtonian, so which does GR predict?

    I do not buy the alleged experimental confirmation any more than
    epicycles proved a geocentric universe and for the reasons I just gave,
    none of which are answered by your experiments.

    Prok: Thank you for the textbook explanation. It's hard to know where to
    start, considering that relativity is full of fallacies. Time is an abstraction, so for it to curve involves the reification fallacy, which
    is nonsense. Time does not curve. Space is an abstraction, so curved
    space also consists of the reification fallacy, making it nonsense. It
    is pathetic that university's (prestige mills) teach what is prestigious
    when it is nonsense.

    Granted that relativity explains Newtonian gravity by curved time and
    adds to that relativity gravity caused by curved space. Unfortunately,
    neither alleged cause explains anything because they are illogical
    nonsense.

    Prok: The fact that you have resorted to ad hominem shows you cannot
    answer my criticisms. You also prove you are inept at logic, as
    Einstein, relativists, and relativity pseudoscience are as well. The
    fact is that elementary logical analysis is sufficient to completely
    refute relativity.

    Mr. Hertz: Yes, the 43" is within the margin of error for Newtonian
    methods. All that is necessary is refining those as Smulsky does.
    There's the oblateness, the Sun's axial spin, and the barycenter orbit
    to account for that, so it should suffice easily.

    Your ignorance of astronomy is showing again.
    The anomalous precession of Mercury's orbit (to a few '' of arc)
    was generally known decades before Einstein cracked the puzzle.

    Hence all kinds of attempts to explain it,
    like extra planet(s), solar oblateness,
    or even a Newtonian exponent of 2.00000000000001
    None of these 'solutions' was satisfactory.

    Just explain why the cores of the Earth, Sun and other large masses with
    a magnetic field should NOT be extremely cold, enough to sustain
    permanent superconducting currents to create the said magnetic fields.

    Paul: Your ignorance is showing because they have been shown to be satisfactory. Where has the barycenter been taken into account? As Mr.
    Hertz has pointed out, just the margin of error in using the Gauss
    method readily accounts for it, making GR unnecessary. Besides, GR
    relies on pretending we can treat gravity as electromagnetism when the
    unified field theory has failed, invalidating that approach.
