44/-- **KEY THEOREM**: GR deflection is exactly twice the Newtonian value.
45 The factor of 2 arises because both temporal AND spatial metric
46 components contribute equally to photon deflection. -/

52/-- **DEFLECTION ANGLE THEOREM**:
53 For a photon passing mass M at impact parameter b:
54 θ = 4GM/(c²b) (in SI), or equivalently θ = 2r_s/b (natural units).
55
56 Derivation: null geodesic u'' + u = (3/2)r_s u² in Schwarzschild.
57 Zeroth order: u₀ = sinφ/b.
58 First order correction integrates to total bending 2r_s/b. -/
