...theory conflicts in several points with many hitherto well-established physical laws. Among its revolutionary statements it maintains that light rays do not travel in an absolutely straight line and further that light is deflected when passing the sun. Einstein also claims that we are not living in a Euclidian space and that many geometric laws are false...
...29th of this year there occurred a solar eclipse in Europe and pictures were taken of certain stars then seen to be near the sun. It was found by measurement that these stars were represented as being farther apart than they normally should be. That is, the rays of light had been bent while passing the sun. Einstein had predicted that this bend would be one and seven tenths seconds and this is precisely what was found to be true...
...bullet were shot past the sun and at the same distance away from it as the light-rays, the force of gravitation of the sun would deflect it only eight-tenths of a second. Something, therefore, deflected the light rays more than twice as much as gravity could bend them. This is all explained in the theory itself, but it requires the use of a fourth dimension...
...advantage of the theory that it employs no new constants and that it does not depend on any assumptions hitherto unheard of. The only two constants that are used are the now well recognized ones of Newton's Law of Gravitation and the velocity of light. It has, therefore, a firm foundation and skeptical scientists will have no easy task in their attempt to undermine...
