Einstein with his trusty slide rule and book of log tables was that

Before Einstein came along, the 43 second discrepancy had already been
detected by astronomers, who postulated an equatorial bulge on the Sun, or
an undiscovered planet which they named Vulcan, to explain that discrepancy.

===========================================
Until you can show all the data in a computer (ideally a spreadsheet with
built in GR calculations open to examination) you are liar, Savard. There
is no "discrepancy" in Le Verrier's calculation, just a slight rounding
error of 1 part in 12 million. You've never done the calculation yourself,
neither can you name anyone else than has. Relativity is the greatest con of
the 20th century, right up there with Piltdown Man and Jesus H Christ
walking on water and turning water to wine. You are so stupid you don't even
know you've been conned, you take all the crap on trust. By itself that
doesn't matter, but then ****ers likes you spread the rumours and that is
downright dishonest bull****. BTW, an equatorial bulge or an undiscovered
planet would at least be a physical cause, not a magical one. The fact is
the precession varies constantly as the other planets changed position,
dragging Mercury along gravitationally, so this "century" figure of Earth's
movement cannot included Neptune with its period of 165 years. There is
your so- called "discrepancy".
