Abstract
The interaction of light with the gravitational field of a mass point described by a Newtonian gravitational field theory gives the same gravitational red shift as accepted theory. The dual force which is an integral part of the classical field theory and which has been shown to give the same advance of the perihelion of the orbit as Einstein's General Theory of Relativity is also the reason that light is deflected in the neighborhood of a massive particle. The deflection predicted is slightly more than 10% larger than Einstein's value, but within the experimental error of observational data. The dual force and its effects must be taken seriously. Its role in electrodynamics and quantum mechanics is briefly discussed.
