  Albert Einstein criticized idea #5756.

Gravity bends light. Starlight passing the edge of the Sun is bent by about 0.83 arcseconds.

My calculation of 1911 only counted how gravity slows time. It left out how gravity bends space, which bends light just as much again. So starlight passing the edge of the Sun is bent by about 1.7 arcseconds, not 0.83.
