Subject: 202(10): Calculation of Change of Polar Angle in a Straight Line Propagation
| The change of polar angle in straight line propagation along the radial unit vector is shown to be zero. This is another refutation of EGR because it asserts that the change is pi. This can be seen in a standard textbook such as that by R. M. Wald, “General Relativity” (Chicago University Press, 1984, page 145, eq. (6.3.40)). Wald obtains the result pi from Einstein’s integral by asserting that M = 0 in reduced units. Here M is a constant, (the reduced mass of the sun). The mass of the sun is never zero, and cannot be varied. The correct method of obtaining the change of angle in a straight line is the obvious one (attached). Einstein proceeded to assert that the partial derivative of the angle of deflection, delta theta, with M can be defined. This is not true, because M is a constant. For example, in evaluating the integral of ax (I = ax squared / 2), where a is a constant, and x the integration variable, it cannot be asserted that a is a variable and that x is constant. This is obvious nonsense. Yet it was used by Einstein and repeated by dogmatists because Einstein used it. If the emperor says that red is blue, then it is blue, at least until you get clear of the emperor’s domain, then it becomes red again.
