THE MOTION OF THE PERIHELION OF MERCURY
In his general relativity calculation of the motion of the perihelion
of Mercury Albert Einstein had only taken into account the
gravitational actions between the Sun and the Mercury, which he also
assumed as two points.


What will be, according to the theory of general relativity, the value
of the motion of the perihelion of Mercury if the gravitational
actions of all the planets in the solar system are taken into account
and also it is taken into account that the Sun is a little oblate?


Have any done these calculations?


Well van Fandern did this analysis:http://www.metaresearch.org/cosmolog.../PerihelionAdv...


TvF writes crank nonsense, and it doesn't address the original
question.

Also there are flyby anomalies, which are possibly more accuratehttp://www2.phys.canterbury.ac.nz/editorial/Anderson2008.pdf


Completely irrelevant to the original question.


Its latitude dependence suggests
that the Earth’s rotation may be generating an effect much
larger than the frame dragging effect of General Relativity,
the Lense-Thirring effect
