Precession of Mercury's longitude of perihelion - (so called "anomaly")

The calculation of the advance of perihelion using Newtonian Celestial Mechanics was
carried out by Urbain L Verrier (1811-1877), with 43 arc seconds per century unaccounted
for.
Urbain Le Verrier is best known for the calculations which led to the discovery of Neptune.

Uranus was discovered by Sir William Herschel on 13 March 1781 (4 years after Le Verrier died).

The so-called "anomaly" that the prominent Albert Einstein "corrected" with his
Wonderful Theory of General Lies and Crackpottery was Le Verrier not having a
telescope quite as good as Herschel's and nothing to do with his calculations, he
simply hadn't included Uranus because he didn't know about it.

Somehow Androcles can't quite figure out the difference between the
curl of E and E itself - witness Androcles' claim that Faraday's law
is E = -dB/dT.

According to Yefim Bakman at Tel Aviv University, in 1908 the accepted
value of
"unaccounted" advancement of perihelion for mercury was 41 arc seconds
per
century. Ritz got bumfoozled by using that value. See the Bakman
"Translatation
Editor's note" at the end of Ritz's section on gravitation:

I get disgusted by lies and dishonesty (and snipping).

Check your arithmetic.

Le Verrier was *BORN* in 1811. The calculations which led to the
discovery
of Neptune were calculations on the motion of Uranus.

Well then this "table of observations of Uranus with comparison to
theory" is a remarkable achievement for Le Verrier.

Here in Le Verrier's 1859 paper (http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/
1859AnPar...5....1L)
the calculations for "Action d'Uranus" can be found on page 11 of the
PDF
document. It is true he left it out of the summary table (page 6). I
think
that is because the coefficients are so small, and that it doesn't
give
a first-order contribution. (Compare the coefficients for Uranus on p.
11
to those for the other planets).

Lying, idiotic, hypocritical, killfile-escape-morphing dickhead.

Stop morphing and let others kill file you. Your posts are pointless at
best.
