    Light bending observations were done decades ago.
    The gravitational field refraction model can explain the bending of light. This is just a model. It is not important how much it differs from general relativity. We have proved 1 + 1 = 2. Do we have to prove 10 + 10 = 20 ?

    Doppler effect proves that light is pulled by gravitational field.

    The Doppler effect and the gravitational field pulling light are the ideas that I suddenly thought of. I temporarily put it here. Whether it can be used as evidence is still unclear.

    Show me this model from online sources.

    Doppler effect is when the source or object is moving away. You're drawing is bunk.

    I do not know what you're talking about. You can google the information you want.
    I need to go to bed. see you tomorrow.

    Yes, that can be referred to as blowing hot air out your ass. Dunning Kruger.

    Locally, one cannot detect a slowing, but from the perspective of a distant observer (the one observing the bending of light), light very much does slow down in a gravity well since time slows there. I posted about that pages ago when discussing variable speed light to and from the moon.
    Thus, bending of light as a function of diffraction is not necessarily wrong. It has to have an effect.
    Question is, does this diffraction alone explain the angle observed? I've seen nobody (Tony in particular) run the mathematics, so it is all just bad bad science, asserting this and that without evidence. Run the computation, compute the angle using only the slowing of light due to the gravity well, and see if it agrees with what GR says or what Newton says. Newton of course did predict bending, but the same bending as a rock going that speed. Diffraction did not come into play. It didn't match observations.

    Yes, we can't use classical flat throw theory to calculate. Need to use the principle of refraction for analysis.

    Light/Photons simply follow geodesics in curved spacetime.
    Doppler Effect is the change in frequency when an emmitter and observer move closer or away from each other.
    Cosmological Redshift is the change in frequency due to spacetime expansion.
    Gravitational Redshift is due to a change in frequency, caused by climbing outwards from a gravitational well.

    Back to our discussion of special relativity. Some scenarios, you have not given the answer.

    A race between Newton and Einstein, who will win? Who can give the answer?
    https://photos.app.goo.gl/o2WkLK5M3uji7aMc7


    There are several scenarios here. The distances between A and B are the same.
    If you are interested, you can try to answer the following questions based on these scenarios.
    scene1: https://photos.app.goo.gl/GTvVoKDWDBqPPe4c9
    What is the relative speed of AB?
    Janus gave the answer: w=(0.2c+0.4c)/(1+0.2c*0.4c/c^2) = 0.555c.

    scene2:https://photos.app.goo.gl/Zy12Qxz1WHXEehVg6
    What is the relative speed of AB?
    Janus gave the answer: w=(-0.2c+0.4c)/(1-0.2c*0.4c) = 0.217c.

    scene3:https://photos.app.goo.gl/cTUiMYNjXCdveHnQ6
    What is the relative speed of AB?
    Janus gave the answer: r=sqrt[1-(0.4c)^2/c^2] ; w=sqrt[(r*0.2c)^2+(0.4c)^2] = 0.44c.

    scene4:https://photos.app.goo.gl/UuUJ6ABoY2M6W5jv6
    What are the speeds of A and B relative to C? Who can give the answer?
    A and B who will reach Earth first?

    scene5:https://photos.app.goo.gl/UowoF19W5MfZ6GAJ6
    What are the speeds of A and B relative to C? Who can give the answer?
    A and B who will reach Earth first?

    These simple scenarios look embarrassing to supporters of special relativity, and no one has been able to answer these questions. I really hope Janus can take some time to take a look.
    If none of these simple problems can be solved, it is really hard to imagine that such a complicated cosmic phenomenon can be solved.

    You mean refraction, surely?

    Are you referring to the Shapiro time delay? Doesn't that effect refer to just the lengthening of the path of light as opposed to decreasing it's speed?

    If the vectors shown represent component vectors in Earth frame, then both get to the line at the same time, but only in Earth frame.
    If, on the other hand, both Newton and Einstein are going straight to the side, but they each have an identical gun that shoots a bullet at the line at 0.2c, then Newton's bullet gets there first in Earth frame. Again, the answer is different in different frames.

    The latter answer assumes the two of them both shoot their bullets as they pass each other, thus eliminating any contention about which shot first.

    I'm good with answers for 1st three.

    zero and .38c respectively.

    [/QUOTE]scene5:
    What are the speeds of A and B relative to C? Who can give the answer?
    A and B who will reach Earth first?[/QUOTE]zero and ambiguous.
    C's speed relative to B is continuously changing. Its speed would only be constant if they meet at some common event, and these don't.

    For both, Picture doesn't give distance, but if A and B are equidistant in Earth frame, they get there at the same time.

    How so? Some are complicated, yes, but embarassing? Only if you assert a wrong answer is it embarrassing.

    As proven by Einstein's "man in the box"?

    Yes you are right the light beam will bend, the trick is to think of the question relativistically, i.e. light always travels the same speed in any reference frame. Therefore, lets say it takes time t for light to go from one side of the rocket to the other if the rocket was standing still, the light then travels a distance c t ct. Then if the light went horizontal through the rocket with respect to the rockets floor, if the rocket moves distance s s in time t t, the light will actually travel a distance √ c 2 t 2 + s 2 > c t c2t2+s2>ct. Therefore the light seems to bend for the observer inside the rocket, as if the light enters the rocket at distance H H above the floor of the rocket, it needs to exit the other side of the rocket at a distance H − s H−s such that we have √ c 2 t 2 + [ ( H − s ) + s ] 2 = √ c 2 t 2 = c t

    Source https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/equivalence-principle-light-beam-through-a-rocket.812809/

    The odd thing is that the curved light will appear to travel a greater distance than the straight light in the first frame.
    But both light beams travel the same distance and arrive at the opposite side at the same time!

    While I don't particularly disagree with what you posted, it seems irrelevant as a response to my post, which involves no light beams or accelerating observers or anything. It was a trivial question of: If two guys are a each a mile from the store in different directions and walking at the same pace towards it, they'll get there at the same time.

    The gravitational field affects the propagation of light. LIGO is the best proof.
