- Can you provide the three points of data you allude to there?
- a) Today's data (observation of Mercury's perihelion advance)
- b) Amount predicted by G.R.
- c) Amount predicted by Newton's Principia method
-
- I was under the impression that (a) and (b) agreed to within experimental
- error; if we have new data that shows sufficient accuracy to disagree with
- (b), I'd be interested in seeing it.
