The GR erratic solution t'=t/(1-2fi)^.5 predits for any fi value a

predicts a larger difference of values for the surface and for the
orbit. FOr the low values of fi (~ 1-5e-10) the difference of expected
difference is around 1%.



No, the difference between (1-2fi)^-1/2 and (1-fi)^-3/2 is not
1%, it is 50%. Expand the two functions out in a taylor series.
