Kip Thorne is one of the most blatant liars in Einstein cult. Here he teaches that Newton's theory predicts no deflection as starlight passes near the sun:

Kip Thorne: "A second crucial proof of the breakdown in Newtonian gravity was the relativistic bending of light. Einstein's theory predicted that starlight passing near the limb of the sun should be deflected by 1.75 seconds of arc, whereas NEWTON'S LAW PREDICTED NO DEFLECTION. Observations during the 1919 eclipse of the sun in Brazil, carried out by Sir Arthur Eddington and his British colleagues, brilliantly confirmed Einstein's prediction to an accuracy of about 20 percent. This dealt the final death blow to Newton's law and to most other relativistic theories of gravity." http://commons.erau.edu/cgi/viewcont...ss-proceedings

Brothers Einsteinians don't rebuke Kip Thorne - they admire his breathtaking dishonesty, give him even more money than he needs, and are trying to catch up to him.
