***{All the Hipparchos satellite has done is expand the range of space
over which light bending can be observed from a few solar radii to most of
the celestial sphere, Al. It added nothing to the already rock-solid proof
of the phenomenon, and did nothing to alter the fact that general
relativity is just a magical "explanation" of a bunch of experimentally
derived equations that a proper aether theory explains without recourse to
magic. If, for example, the explanation of the so called "gravitational
light bending" predicted by those equations lies in the lensing effects of
pools of gravitationally entrained aether surrounding stars, rather than
in "curved space," then the Hipparchos results *confirm* the existence of
the aether, now don't they? :-) --MJ}***
