Hello,
I was recently reading relativity the general and special theory by Albert Einstein. When I came across the equation to calculate the angle of deflection for light as it approaches a massive body. I was just wondering if someone could explain why this works and also what "1.7 seconds of arc" means, as it is part of the equation.
