I added this quote about the Francis Dicke's theory.  Aschalfy, why did you remove it without any comments?  It is from the same time magazine article that is already cited in this article.  It clarifies why Dicke's theory is less professionally accepted!  Please read the article yourself.  It shows that Einstein's theory was closer than Dicke's.

''But the J.P.L. experimenters reduced the margin of error to 4% or less by locating the distant spacecraft within 100 ft. of their actual position. Thus, when they calculated that the signal to Mariner was slowed down by 204 millionths of a second on its round trip, '''they dealt the Brans-Dicke theory a sharp if not decisive blow'''. Their measurement was only 4 millionths of a second off the Einsteinian prediction, but 18 millionths of a second off the Brans-Dicke figure.<ref>http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,943324,00.html</ref>''

This is the same article that that is cited for the statement ''Physicist Robert Dicke of Princeton University was a prominent critic[7]''.  The same article that shows why Robert Dicke's theory is not accepted among scientists.  Dicke suffered not just because he criticized Einstein's theory, but also because his theory was not as accurate.
