I forgot to post a reference:

Steve Carlip: "It is well known that the deflection of light is twice that predicted by Newtonian theory; in this sense, at least, light falls with twice the acceleration of ordinary “slow” matter."

Source: http://arxiv.org/pdf/gr-qc/9909014v1.pdf

Does anybody know of a hypothesis that gives a physical reason for this?

Also, it is obvious that this kills Einstein's equivalence principle dead.

Sorry but you took the quote the wrong way.
It is precisely due to the equivalence principle that
Einstein got it right and Newton got it wrong.

Sorry, this makes no sense. If the equivalence principle was right there should be no difference between the acceleration of massive and massless particles by gravity.

And there isn't. They follow the identical law. That would be the point.

The law is that the bend is proportional to G(1+Y), where Y is close to 
0 for slow-moving things and Y is close to 1 for things moving close to 
the speed of light. Same law, factor of 2 arises only from slow-moving 
vs. fast moving.

Fuck you. The EP has nothing to do with the speed of objects. Einstein's thought experiment in the accelerating chamber makes that clear. If light particles are accelerated more than other particles, then the EP is broken. Live with it.

The EP says that the effect of gravity is INDISTINGUISHABLE from the 
physics of an accelerated frame, provided that the laboratory is small 
enough. Period. That is ALL it says. It does NOT say that the 
acceleration of a fast moving object under gravity will be the same as 
the acceleration of a slow moving object under gravity. It never did.

Light is NOT accelerated more than other particles traveling at the same 
speed.

Consider the possibility that you may have misunderstood something about 
the EP, or about what Carlip said, or what relativity actually says. And 
do that before being so WEDDED UNTIL DEATH DO YOU PART that relativity 
is wrong.

This is not about what relativity says. Fuck that. It's about the equivalence principle. Either EVERYTHING accelerates the same way in gravity or they don't. They clearly don't, which means that the EP is violated. There must be a physical reason for it. And no, a math equation is not a reason. It's a fudge introduced to a theory to make it agree with observation. It's no better than Ptolemaic epicycles.

Math is descriptive only. It explains nothing, goddammit. Get a clue.

Then look up what the equivalence principle says. It does NOT say that 
all things fall at the same rate in gravity. Period, end of story.

It's clear that SOMETHING has been violated, but it's only the thing 
that you've made up, which is neither the equivalence principle nor 
anything relativity actually says.

Sorry, but this is just full of shit.
If there is a quantity like acceleration, and the acceleration goes like 
G(1+Y) and you believe that Y changing from object to object is a FUDGE 
designed to match data, then I'm afraid you're going to have a problem 
with physics in general, and not with Einstein.

Here's a simple example from HIGH SCHOOL PHYSICS and Galileo:
The distance traveled by something starting from rest and accelerating 
uniformly is given by s=(1/2)at^2.
Now, can you give me a PHYSICAL REASON for the factor of (1/2) or in 
your mind, was that just a fudge to fit data after the fact?
Is there a PHYSICAL reason the t is squared as opposed to just being to 
the first power or the third power, or was that just a fudge to fit the 
data after the fact?

Go ahead, have at it.

Speed has nothing to do with it. Einstein's thought experiment has nothing to do with the speed of bodies in the accelerating chamber. The chamber accelerates equally relative to everything in it regardless of their speed or any other property that they may have.

Let's back up. What do you believe the equivalence principle says, exactly?

And before shooting your mouth off on that right away, do you want to go 
look it up first and see what it really says?

Yes.

What we have been trying to tell you is they are accelerated
exactly the same.

An electron at close to the speed of light will follow
a curve that matches closely to the curve
that a photon will follow.

The math works.

Yes, please do.

I'm sincere alright. That's why I wrote "fuck you" to your lying nonsense. Newtonian mechanics assume true equivalence between acceleration and gravity. Newtonian gravity is falsified because true equivalence is broken by the fact that photons are accelerated by gravity twice as fast as massive particles.

So what do you assholes do? You redefined the original meaning of equivalence so that your stupid lie about the EP can agree with observation. And yet, even after all of this mathematical legerdemain, you stupid relativists still don't have a fucking clue why photons accelerate faster than massive particles. You still think it's because of the math. You still haven't answered the question I posed at the start of the thread.

So, once again. Fuck you. All of you. You're a bunch of Star Trek voodoo physicists. Both you and your physics are chicken shit.

ahahaha...AHAHAHAHA...ahahahaha...

Look, you twit. I'm not a physicist, I'm an amateur, like you. I'm a 
woodworker. But the difference between you and me is that I don't get a 
load of rebar up my ass because physics is hard to understand on first 
blush. I don't go calling physicists voodoo liars just because they 
don't explain everything in ordinary language without math so that I can 
feel better about myself. What *I* do, which is what you don't do, is 
attempt to learn it, instead of calling it all bullshit.

I can't help your inferiority complex that's got you so cockblocked that 
you freeze up and start gagging, and then you get pissed that you feel 
that way.

You have some weird fucking expectations, pal, that you should be able 
to understand physics on the basis of soundbites, that it's all simply 
explainable in terms of mechanisms that YOU BUY, and that if it's not, 
then it's fucking broken. Sorry, chum, but life doesn't work that way. 
Some areas of work require expertise, and expertise requires 10,000 
hours of concentrated practice and training, and if that's too much of a 
load for you, then you're fucking SCREWED. Get over it.

To compensate, you FABRICATE shit like this "Newtonian equivalence 
principle", and you FABRICATE history that flips the order of events, 
and then you both deny that you're doing it, and then you DO IT AGAIN.

Here is a small taste of REALITY for you.
1. There IS NO Newtonian equivalence principle. You made it up.
2. Einstein's equivalence principle was proposed in 1911, almost a full 
decade BEFORE it was discovered through measurement that light's 
acceleration was twice the Newtonian prediction. To imagine that 
Einstein fudged the equivalence principle to match data FROM THE FUTURE 
is outright lunacy.
3. Even if there WERE a Newtonian equivalence principle that said what 
you invented, then it would be WRONG, because it disagrees with 
experimental data. That's how science WORKS, you bozo. If you have an 
idea of something you think should be true, but data doesn't match your 
beloved idea, then your beloved idea is WRONG.
4. Your reaction to not getting an explanation you buy is that you make 
up your own -- this discrete crap -- which you like BECAUSE YOU 
UNDERSTAND IT, and to you anything that you understand is automatically 
better than something you don't.
5. And you're STILL pissed off that people aren't answering your 
questions IN A WAY YOU UNDERSTAND, rather than you trying to understand 
the answers in the way they are given. This is just you being fucking 
lazy and vaporlocked, and having a childish tantrum that you can't get 
your way.

Whether you like or not, I'm sure all the readers here are aware of 
these five facts and see straight through your bluster and false arrogance.

RIGHT!

But my explanation was using the equivalence of mass and energy.
Sorry we got our equivalence terms were not equivalent. :)

There is a difference between the acceleration of
 massive SLOW particles and
 massless Speed-of-light particles
 by gravity.

Read the Carlipp quote again:
' ... in this sense, at least, light falls with
 twice the acceleration of ordinary “slow” matter.'

Note the emphasis on SLOW.
