One consequence of the theory is that light and other electromagnetic waves should be measurably bent when passing through a strong gravitational field. Contesting Einstein's equations, Physicists Robert Dicke of Princeton and Carl Brans of Loyola University (New Orleans) argued that such waves are bent to a lesser extent than Einstein had predicted. Though subtle and wrapped in complex mathematics, the differences in the two theories are extremely important. As Einstein himself once admitted, if only one part of his theory was proved wrong, the entire...
