You are such a waste of time as you never directly answer any of the
points made. Relativity does not predict how much light is deflected, so
experiments cannot prove relativity.

He insisted that that the equation (and GR) was wrong.

It provides no good reason for the
doubling because it resorts to the reification fallacy of non-Euclidean
geometry. Space is not curved because it is an abstraction.

GR predicts Θ = 4GM/Δ⋅c². It is not doubling of anything.

"Many
physicists" is yet another appeal to authority, which is another logical
fallacy you are so stupid as to defend. It is extraordinary that so many
eminent scientists accept so many foolish and ignorant ideas, including
the velocity-distance relationship and the doubling.

You know, experimental evidence _is_ the reality.
Your opinion is fantasy.

If the derivation is wrong, it doesn't predict. You didn't understand
what Poor said. Poor has directly addressed the "4" in your equation.
After refusing to divulge his derivation for his doubling, Einstein
finally asserted he got it by employing Huygens' principle. That formula
is for calculating refraction. Then Einstein admits to adding
gravitational effect and refraction to get his doubling. You keep
appealing to the majority and authority instead of reason.
