Deflection of light with the equivalence principle

A thorough treatment of the Strong Equivalence Principle is presented, demonstrating its failure in dealing with non-uniform gravitational fields. In particular, a calculation utilising the equivalence principle is shown to produce an incorrect rate of deflection of light. This calculation is used a...
