Geoffkait,
true enuf. He did however, predict orbital precession. His calculations perfectly predicted mercury’s orbit, which is subject to a higher degree of precession than the outer planets. Orbital dynamics using classical physics are not able to accurately predict the orbit of Mercury, Einstein’s Gravitational physics is needed for that.
recently, a star orbiting the milky ways central black hole was shown to be behaving as Einstein’s calculation predict. Astounding.
Anyone know what music Herr Einstein listened to?
Okay, now we’re light years off topic. My fault.
>>>>You’re getting warm. It was Einstein’s theory of General Relativity that explained Mercury’s orbit. Ironically perhaps it’s inaccurate to use the term gravitational physics as that’s a classical physics term. That was the whole point of the Mercury orbit anomaly, that it couldn’t be entirely explained by gravitational physics.
