- TL;DR Summary
- Newton's equations predict planet Mercury's perihelion precession 5557 arc seconds Vs actual precession measured was 5600 arc seconds per century. By general relativity, Einstein had solved the problem discrepancy of 43 arcs second per century by introducing the wrapping of space-time due to Sun. However, the predicted magnitude for other planets was not satisfied. Is it possible that the additional force required for precession caused by asteroids' regular striking force?
Einstein had solved the problem by introducing wrapping of space-time due to Sun as per general relativity. However, the predicted magnitude for other planets like Venus, Earth. Is it possible that additional force required for precession is due to asteroids striking force?
