Subject: Corrigendum x = 0.756
| Thanks again for going through this note. The factor two comes simply from (x squared – 1 + x squared) / x squared, and it was made equal to 2 to obtain the experimental result which is 4 MG / (c squared Rsub 0). I agree with 2 / root 7 = 0.756. So I am posting this as a corrigendum on the blog. As you can see this is pure and simple Lagrangian dynamics, which Lagrange himself could have done in 1788. Any good first or second year undergraduate could do this type of problem now that the method is known. The trick as always is in finding it. I think that what is happening is clear, Einsteinian general relativity is being quietly abandonded “unofficially”, not that there is ever any “official physics”. It was a great and influential theory and Einstein was a great scientist – that goes without saying, and we stand on the shoulders of giants as Newton mentioned.
