Gravitational light bending in Euclidean space
Igor Bulyzhenkov
TL;DR
This paper explains the gravitational bending of light using Euclidean space, attributing it to electromagnetic wave slowness and red shift, providing a new perspective on observed solar light deflection.
Contribution
It introduces a Euclidean space-based explanation for gravitational light bending, emphasizing electromagnetic effects over spacetime curvature.
Findings
Light deflection explained by electromagnetic wave slowness and red shift.
Euclidean geometry suffices to account for solar light bending.
Provides an alternative to spacetime curvature explanations.
Abstract
Both the non-homogeneous slowness of electromagnetic waves in gravitational fields and the frequency red shift contribute to the gravitational light bending. This twofold contribution explains the measured deflection of light rays by the Sun under Euclidean geometry of space.
