Soon after Einstein’s calculation of the effect of the Sun’s gravitational field on the propagation of light in 1911, astronomers around the world tried to measure and verify the value. If the first attempts in Brazil in 1912 or Imperial Russia in 1914 had been successful, they would have proven Einstein wrong.

首次尝试测量太阳的光偏转

爱因斯坦在1911年计算出太阳引力场对光的传播的影响后不久，世界各地的天文学家都试图测量和验证该值。如果1912年在巴西或1914年在俄罗斯帝国的首次尝试成功，那将证明爱因斯坦错了。
