The Einsteinian Prediction of the Precession of Mercurys Perihelion
Puzzle solving in normal science involves a process of accommodation—auxiliary assumptions are changed, and parameter values are adjusted so as to eliminate the known discrepancies with the data. Accommodation is often contrasted with prediction. Predictions happen when one achieves a good fit with novel data without accommodation. So, what exactly is the distinction, and why is it important? T...
متن کاملPerihelion precession for modified Newtonian gravity
We calculate the perihelion precession δ for nearly circular orbits in a central potential V (r). Differently from other approaches to this problem, we do not assume that the potential is close to the Newtonian one. The main idea in the deduction is to apply the underlying symmetries of the system to show that δ must be a function of r · V (r)/V (r), and to use the transformation behaviour of δ...
متن کاملMultipole Corrections to Perihelion and Node Line Precession
According to Kepler’s law, a probe particle orbiting around a central spherical mass describes a trajectory with the shape of an ellipse. When particles are not pointlike or they are not even spherical, distortions appear and orbits are no longer closed, according to Bertrand’s theorem. In such cases we talk of precession. There are many phenomena comprised in this word, the precession of the r...
متن کاملGravitational Thomas Precession and the Perihelion Advance of Mercury
Gravitational Thomas Precession ( GTP ) is the name given to Thomas Precession when the acceleration is caused by a gravitational force field. The GTP gives a negative contribution of 7 · 163 arcsec/century for the anomalous perihelion advance of Mercury’s orbit.This effect seems to be of some concern for the General Relativity. PACS: 04.80Cc ; 96.30Dz
متن کاملOn the Origin of the Anomalous Precession of Mercury’s Perihelion
Action at distance in Newtonian physics is replaced by finite propagation speeds in classical post–Newtonian physics. As a result, the differential equations of motion in Newtonian physics are replaced by functional differential equations, where the delay associated with the finite propagation speed is taken into account. Newtonian equations of motion, with post–Newtonian corrections, are often...
