A proposed observation during the total solar eclipse on 11 August 1999

Abstract

The theory of inertial induction, which has been quite successful in explaining a number of hitherto unexplained astrophysical phenomena, predicts a redshift in light grazing massive objects. The total solar eclipse on 11 August 1999 offers an opportunity of testing the theory. In this paper we predict the additional redshift of a few stars during the eclipse and urge professional astronomers to do the observation.
