I don't know about Startrek and Spock, but Vulcan was the planet
proposed by Leverrier to explain the precession of Mercury. araoung
the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries Vulcan was searched for. Every
time "Vulcan was in transit" it turned out to be a small sunspot.

Leverrier had by that point eliminated the influence of all the other
planets on Mergury. It was the GTR that cleared up the mysery. Mercury
is attracted to a point on the Schwartzchild radius of the Sun and
precesses.

Is that yet another posting against Relativity. I was told in my
textbook on GTR (rather out of date now) that no effects were observed
for the other planets. This is not the case. GTR is important for
Earth crossing asteroids.

Newton's and Kepler's Laws work, for most of the solar system because
the ratio inertial field from the sun versus inertial field from the
universe is negligible. For Mercury this is not the case, and this is
causing the precession.

One black hole in an otherwise empty universe should not have cone
section like orbits at all.

I was going to launch that question one of the next days on this ng to
test or rather unmask the so called "knowledge" or "insight" (rotfl) of
the GRex-perts here.
