First Solutions To Gravitation And Orbital Precession Under Vectorial Relativity, Jorge A. Franco
First Solutions To Gravitation And Orbital Precession Under Vectorial Relativity, Jorge A. Franco
Jorge A Franco
One of the reasons of the success of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity (GTR) was that it allowed to calculate planet’s precession (rotation of the elliptical path axis with time, i.e.: Mercury Precession). The fact that its occurrence has been experimentally observed is not accounted by classic Kepler’s or Newton Laws because it is only applicable to constant masses. This work shows that planet’s precession is a direct consequence of considering variable planet’s mass inside accepted physical laws in our known three-dimensional space. According to us, this work positively confirms new definitions of mass and Energy obtained under Vectorial Relativity.
