Einstein was wrong – yet again – in theorizing that light bends under a star’s gravitational influence when it travels in its proximity. Science writer Brent Shadbolt has illustrated this in his new Substack article titled “The Classical Tests of General Relativity II: Starlight Deflected by the Sun.”
Citing relevant research sources and historical documents, Shadbolt shows how the more obvious and scientifically provable explanation of light bending in the vicinity of a star, like the sun, results from a change of medium of propagation and not the gravitational pull of the star. The process is the same as the well-known phenomenon of refraction – bending of light when it enters a denser medium from a rare medium.
The medium in the vicinity of sun (or any massive body) is denser because of the presence of plasma (particles) as against the rare (less dense) interstellar vacuum. Thus light naturally reflects from its original course. Among other sources, Shadbolt cites the more recent findings of Dr. Edward Dowdye, a former NASA scientist. In 2016, he pointed out that:
The plasma limb of a star such as the Sun encompasses the chromosphere and corona, where hot, ionized gas extends beyond the star’s surface. Light bending is observed only when starlight traverses this region of plasma.
Shadbolt concludes that Einstein’s general relativity prediction about light bending under gravity is debunked, yet it is followed religiously by powerful global elites and thence the layman or indoctrinated masses at educational institutions. His article also points to a 2012 conference of world’s renowned physicists arranged by notorious child sex trafficker Jeffery Epstein.
Last year, Brent Shadbolt published his science book Refuting Relativity wherein he explored in details the scientific evidence challenging Einstein’s theory of relativity. He continues to educate readers on key matters in science, notably physics, and cautions against received ideas by establishment media, compromised academia, and other sources with vested interests.
