Kip Thorne: Newton's theory predicted no deflection:
Kip Thorne: "A second crucial proof of the breakdown in Newtonian gravity was the relativistic bending of light. Einstein's theory predicted that starlight passing near the limb of the sun should be deflected by 1.75 seconds of arc, whereas NEWTON'S
LAW PREDICTED NO DEFLECTION. Observations during the 1919 eclipse of the sun in Brazil, carried out by Sir Arthur Eddington and his British colleagues, brilliantly confirmed Einstein's prediction to an accuracy of about 20 percent. This dealt the final
death blow to Newton's law and to most other relativistic theories of gravity."

Sabine Hossenfelder: Newton's theory did predict deflection:
Sabine Hossenfelder: "As light carries energy and is thus subject of gravitational attraction, a ray of light passing by a massive body should be slightly bent towards it. This is so both in Newton's theory of gravity and in Einstein's, but Einstein's
deflection is by a factor two larger than Newton's. [...] As history has it, Eddington's original data actually wasn't good enough to make that claim with certainty. His measurements had huge error bars due to bad weather and he also might have cherry-
picked his data because he liked Einstein's theory a little too much. Shame on him."

All theoretical physicists (Thorne and Hossenfelder included): Who cares?
Who cares?!
Sabine makes loadsamoney flogging pre copernican myths.
That’s how much she cares.
And she hasn’t a single piece of empirical evidence to back up her fantasies Nor did Newton. Notice not only did he fantasise about light being a corpuscle,
his conceit that all the mass of a planet or the sun being concentrated at its center
of volume was proved wildly incorrect when the orbit of Mercury didn’t
match his pseudoscientific nonsense.
And the maths of Einsteins quasi religious relativity
theory still only predicted Mercury’s orbit. But failed to predict
Earth, Venus, Mars etc anywhere near correctly. That’s because when Albert faked
his maths only the preccession of Mercury was known. (And relativists faked Mars preccession. Ignoring the observed data which shows for Mars the anomalous preccession is actually 2.5, not 1.3)
A much better and more accurate calculation of planetary preccession
based on the fact that the mass of the sun is spread across its volume is as follows as denoted by my calculation B*
(using a formula calculating preccession at perehilion.
Not at semi major as Einstein the hoaxer erroneously did )
B*. Preccessional advance in arcseconds= 1/(r+3R)^2
Where r is suns radius, R is perehilion and Obs is observed
Planet) Obs GRT B*
Mercury) 43.1 43.5 43.24
Venus) 8.0 8.6 8.33
Earth) 5.0 3.87 4.49
Mars) 2.5. 1.3 2.29
Notice relativity is way off.
