Sobral 1919 eclipse involves deflection of star light by theMoons gravity

This is what Newton and GR predict for gravitational bending of light: There are two Newtonian predictions to light bending depending how light is modeled. If modeled as classical particles with non-null mass, yes light does bend by gravity. If modeled as waves per classical electromagnetism, it cannot bend but instead shifts in position. GR's prediction is correct. Your so-called “correct prediction” has nothing to do with light bending. It is instead an issue of light delay. Light bending one way potentially gives the same light delay as light bending the other way. Light bending is not light delay, get it? shrug |
