Well Smolin is not going right here. Newtonian gravity predicts light bending. It gives a half of the observed value. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bending_of_starlight Search for "In 1801 Johann Georg von Soldner had pointed out that Newtonian gravity predicts that starlight will bend around a massive object" An usual way to compute light bending in galaxies is to apply MOND and then twice that value. Of course, this is a kind of trick. A better procedure is to use relativistic MOND theory. -- I follow http://canonicalscience.org/en/miscellaneouszone/guidelines.txt
