Abstract

We pay attention to sensational Marmet and Couture?s paper. This paper shows how all the experiments claiming the deflection of light by the Sun are subject to very large systematic errors, which render the results highly unreliable. Theoretical analysis of this problem (based on Minkowski?s equation) is presented.
