Einstein calculated that the bending of light around a body is twice the value that Newton calculated. My impression is that this is due to the curvature of space which is velocity dependent.
Does this mean that a projectile passing the sun at close to the speed of light would be measured as being gravitationally accelerated at almost twice the value that Newtonian gravity would predict?
Put another way, would it also mean that a slow moving body would experience a weaker gravity than a fast moving body?
