Gravitational deflection of polarised radiation

An upper limit is determined for the difference in the deflection of beams of orthogonally polarised radiation passing through the Sun's gravitational field. A null result is anticipated by present theories of gravitation but this prediction has never been tested.

确定了通过太阳引力场的正交极化辐射光束偏转的差异的上限。现有的引力理论预测了一个无效的结果，但这种预测从未被验证过。
