    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>
