Everything about pulsar is about indirect tests. 2) Last high precision observations reveals that binary pulsar is better described by non-geometrical theory of gravity which gives the same prediction than GR more a 1% excess cannot be explained using GR. -- http://www.canonicalscience.org/

You are the one, Sam, claiming "there has never been a prediction of relativity that was contradicted by an observation", not me. Waiting your references that above tests and observation cited in the OP are in agreement with GR :-) -- http://www.canonicalscience.org/ |
