Comparison of Einstein Theory and Classical Theory of Precession
The Einstein theory is rolled out just for comparison. I found several disasters in the method used by Marion and Thornton, chapter 7, section 9 , third edition of "Classical Dynamics". The method is very dippy, and the clearest disaster is Eq. (23). It is quite a feat to contrive a theory with so many disasters, yet this is what the dogmatists still adhere to, all one of them. These disasters can all be graphed by computer algebra. In great contrast the new classical theory of precessions is simple and as elegant as the three Kepler laws. It is free of any errors. The classical theory should be used as a limit of the ECE2 covariant theory, which is also simple and free of errors. Eq. (40) is a very clear illustration of the failure of the Einstein theory, perhaps the clearest yet. After sufficient revolutions the orbit ceases entirely to be a conic section for all alpha, epsilon and delta. Of course this is never observed. It is also shown that the Einstein theory is an example of the x theory of ECE theory, which can produce very intricate orbits which are never observed but are of interest in mathematics.The x theory can be applied if and only if x – 1 goes to zero. The Einstein theory is an example of x theory The dogmatists carry on as ever ignoring Baconian science entirely. Kepler did a lot better in the year 1600.
