Default Refuting "The Einstein Hoax"

Brian Webb was touched by the minds of the terrible Old Ones, and imparted
unto us these blasphemous ravings:

[amount of light deflection predicted]


Einstein's first stab at the problem gave the same answer as
Soldner's Newtonian result...

a = 2GM / rc2 = 0.83 arcsec, M=M,sun, r=r,sun

...but after completing the GT, it became

a = 4GM / rc2 = 1.74 arcsec

- Brian


So I assume that 1.74 arcsec was the correct answer?
