"Shapiro Time Delay derivates from Refraction" = by Serret "7. CONCLUSION The Shapiro delay decreases logarithmically as a function of the distance to the Sun. But the only measurements accessible to the public are those made according to the observation days, which does not make it possible to verify with precision the Shapiro delay as a function of a distance to the Sun. And if the relativistic explanation by deformation of the space-time is generally accepted, it can be criticized for for its various equations and it is criticized by some for its possible variation according to the wavelength. We can then advance another explanation: the solar corona being necessarily surrounded by gas, this slight presence of gas would be enough to generate a phenomenon of refraction. The decay curve would be logarithmic as well. Far from the Sun, an exponential decay of the concentration (as for the Earth's atmosphere) would explain that most of the measurements are less than 40 μs. The best way to make sure of this possible refraction phenomenon is to measure the Shapiro delay as a function of the distance to the Sun and especially as a function of frequency, i.e. with radar waves and with radio waves."
