Jong-Ping Hsu

TL;DR
This paper tests Yang-Mills gravity's prediction for light deflection by the sun, finding results consistent with experimental measurements and highlighting a slight deviation from conventional theory.
Contribution
It provides experimental validation of Yang-Mills gravity's light deflection prediction, which differs slightly from Einstein's general relativity.
Findings
Measured light deflection of approximately 1.53 arcseconds
Results align with Yang-Mills gravity predictions within experimental error
Supports the viability of Yang-Mills gravity as an alternative theory
Abstract
In the geometric-optics limit, Yang-Mills gravity with space-time translational gauge symmetry predicts for the deflection of a light ray by the sun. The result, which is about 12% smaller than that in the conventional theory, is consistent with experiments involving optical frequencies that had an accuracy of 10-20%.
