Perihelion Precession of Mercury, full Calculation

by Walter Orlov In reality, complete calculation of the perihelion precession of Mercury takes 50" in the century. 43" is apparent in the reference system of Mercury. This allows to omit the Lorentz factor in the ener y law!

"ut in reality, the #alue of 43" is measure$ for the reference system of the sun. Therefore relati#istic kinetic ener y

necessarily appertain to the ener y law!

%uch an e&uation to sol#e, howe#er, must 'e incre$i'ly $ifficult. Therefore we assume that the e&uation of eneral relati#ity with r (3
