...measured the minute frequency change that takes place in gamma rays projected vertically for as little as 70 ft. in the earth's gravitational field. Their results upheld the gravity-caused shifts in frequency predicted by Einstein. An M.I.T. scientist plans to bounce high-frequency radar pulses off Venus as it begins to swing behind the sun. If Einstein's theory holds, the radar waves will be slowed down slightly as they pass through the strongest part of the solar gravitational field-enough to cause a 40-mile error in radar measurement of the distance of Venus from...
