Hi Al, and All,<br>
<br>
the greatest counter-evidence to the position of Ed Dowdy which I
know is the result of Lebach et al.. They have measured the light
deflection at the sun, and the result conforms to the theory (of
Einstein or equivalent ones, see further down) with an accuracy of
10^-4. This excludes in my understanding any influence of a plasma
layer around the sun, because even if there would be plasma having
this influence, there could not be exactly the same result as from
conventional theory by this precision, and plasma could not even
provide this reproducibility. Dowdy normally refers to measurements
of NASA but has never given a reference to such measurements.<br>
<br>
The deflection is, according to Einstein, caused by the curvature of
space-time around the sun. It can also be deduced in an alternative
way. The speed of light is reduced in the vicinity of an object.
This causes classical refraction. An according calculation has the
same analytical(!) result as the approach of Einstein. And it makes
the assumption plausible that the mass of the deflected object does
not influence this deflection/refraction. <br>
<br>
One can go a step further and apply this refraction process to the
internal motion in elementary particles, the "Zitterbewegung". This
immediately results in Newton's law of gravity. And it also
reproduces the results of Einstein's General Relativity. And further
it explains the (weak) equivalence principle, the fact that any
object has the same gravitational acceleration independent of its
mass. (In present main stream physics this equivalence is called a
mystery.) <br>
<br>
The next question in this row: what is the cause of the reduction of
the speed of light. A plausible assumption is that the light like
particles affected here are influence by the exchange particles of
other forces. With this assumption gravity is not the force no. 4
but no force at all. It is simply refraction.<br>

<div>Dear Adam K,</div>
<div>Thank you for the quote, and isn't it a
puzzling one? "The deflection is due to
gravitation AND mass!!" Well that is one
mass too many, in my opinion, but i think
this should be interpreted as if not just
Newtonion gravitation is working but,
instead, general relativity (which
includes corrections to the former).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>John D, i have not recently responded
to your comments, but thank you very much
indeed for the useful explanations
combined with your great sense of humor!
The helicopter one with not finding the
hard bits actually made it physically
impossible for me to hit the small keys on

The paper "light
is heavy" is no
more, and no
less, than a
supposedly
didactic and the
only consistent
explanation of
special
relativity and
its
consequences.
Most important
points are that
there are some
confusions:<br
clear="none">
1) mass is not
matter<br
clear="none">
2) energy is
equivalent,
exactly the same
as, mass: E=mc^2<br
clear="none">
3) light is
massive, both in
the inertial and
gravitational
sense, as is
obvious from
experiment<br
clear="none">
4) the greatest
confusion is
about light
being massless,
which indeed it
would be if it
couldn't/didn't
move. The whole
point is that
light is always
moving at the
speed of light,
so it is a
non-existing
limit.<br
clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Weighing a box
with a molecular
gas, or that of
a "photon" gas
give the same
kind of result:
the
gravitational
mass of the gas
plus the weight
of the box.
Light is
gravitationally
deflected by
large masses,
experimentally.
Light carries
momentum and
energy.<br
clear="none">
<br clear="none">
There is nothing
new in what i
say, it is
consistent with
Einsteinian
relativity an
represents the
vision of Herman
weyl too, and
many others<br
