According to:

GR predicts 42.98 +/- 0.04 arc secs per century.

According to:
Clemence, G. M. (1947). "The Relativity Effect in
Planetary Motions".
Reviews of Modern Physics 19 (4): 361–364.
The tug from other planets is 531.63 +/- 0.69
and the observed is 574.10 +/- 0.65 arc secs per century
(both relative to 'stationary space')

So the 'anomaly' is 42.45 +/- 1.13 arc secs per century

GR's prediction is well inside the error bars.

Has Paul ever examine the precession of the equinox more
closely? shrug

According to the above link, the exact period is 25,772
years (with no error bar given) which translates to 257.72
centuries.

360 * 60 * 60 / 257.72 = 5,028.7”

As Paul has pointed out, Le Verrier had observed 5,600.0”
(with no error bar given and with unknown digits of
significance but at least 2).

5,600.0” – 5,028.7” – (531.63” +/- 0.69”) = 39.7” +/- 0..7”

It is about 3” less than the fudged prediction of the
Schwarzschild metric. So, it looks like the data is
fudged as well as the prediction. shrug

fascinating that you do this calculation with unknown precision (but at
least two digits of significance in the first number -- that is, the 5
and the 6 but nothing after that), and then you claim an uncertainty in
the final sum of 0.7".

PD aka absolutely imbecile needs to reread what Koobee Wublee has
written. Koobee Wublee was pointing that there is no accuracy data of
Le Verrier’s observation which is suspiciously good to 5 digits of
significance, and yet the self-styled physics like PD aka absolutely
imbecile are able to see the high precision in the making. shrug

did you learn this skill in junior high, or did you miss
those years?

Was that the dissertation of PD aka absolutely imbecile on
bull****ting accuracy out of noise? shrug

Ps. Koobee Wublee notices PD aka absolutely imbecile is still 2 times
zones ahead of Koobee Wublee. So, PD aka absolutely imbecile is still
in Texas. His bull**** skills allows PD aka absolutely imbecile to
brag being a world class traveler since PD aka absolutely imbecile is
able to bounce off servers from different corners of the globe.

Is there any doubt that the Orwellian philosophy is well indoctrinated
among the self-styled physicists?
