#560106 — The Einstein Conspiracy...Part 1.

FromHenry Wilson <HGW@home.com>
Date2016-03-07 20:34 +0000
SubjectThe Einstein Conspiracy...Part 1.
Message-ID<nbkoli$jjc$1@gioia.aioe.org>
If a conspiracy is to be mounted against an individual or group, its name 
must be continually associated with things bad. To favourably promote a 
name, it should be associated anything good. Conspiracies have been very 
common throughout history, not only in the political arena but also in 
civilian matters such as 'framing' a person...or spreading a rumour that 
a woman a witch or an innocent man a wife beater or a rapist. Probably 
the second most successful conspiracy of all time has been the promotion 
of the commo hippy Jesus Christ as being the son of some kind of 
imaginary 'god' thing. How could any kid not believe the story when it is 
written and stated so often and pictures and statues of the poor bugger 
strung up on a cross are as common as plastic bottles on the 
roadside...Women even dangle them from their necks, where every man 
looks. Surely the story must be true, with all that 'evidence'!  -:)

The promotion of Adolph Hitler was achieved through a massive and evil 
conspiracy. The Vietnam war was started by a US fabrication of facts...as 
was the recent destruction of Iraq. Associating kings, queens, various 
criminals, tax dodgers, corrupt officials and even demented US presidents 
with charitable organizations has also been very effective in giving 
people a clean image. However the promotion of the name Albert Einstein 
as the world's symbol of genius surpasses all other conspiracies by a 
long shot since it has fooled so many people who are undoubtedly a lot 
smarter than the man himself. 

Over the coming months, I will be discussing instances of the way in 
which name Einstein has been deviously linked to a long of important 
scientific issues. Today's subject will be a simple one...the precession 
of Mercury.

For centuries, nobody could properly explain that precession. In reality, 
nobody could properly explain ANY planetary precession for the simple 
reason that it depends on the positions of other planets and is never 
constant but CHAOTIC in nature. Einstein stuck a factor of two in 
somewhere to make his predictions match the current rate of precession 
and was immediately accepted as someone who should be taken seriously.

You loose the point, Anrry. To understand that thing you have to start 
from the very beginning, and work your way up.

   General relativity makes very specific predictions. There is no
   wiggle room. The theory is either right or wrong. General Relativity
   exactly predicted the precession of perihelion in Mercury's orbit.

   Every test of General Relativity to date, shows that nature is
   in agreement. The theory is correct and remains a fruitful too
   of physics.

There is no way to predict chaotic behavior, idiot. Mercury's precession 
has no fixed value.

   Ralph, you best look up the data for the precession of perihelion in
   Mercury's orbit.

Bullshit....pure bullshit.. There is no fixed value for the precession 
of Mercury....so how could any theory predict one?

   General relativity makes very specific predictions. There is no
   wiggle room. The theory is either right or wrong. General Relativity
   exactly predicted the precession of perihelion in Mercury's orbit.

   Every test of General Relativity to date, shows that nature is
   in agreement. The theory is correct and remains a fruitful too
   of physics.

Orbits are chaotic in the very long term, but in the short term, the 
effects of the other planets can be taken into account. When that's 
done, Mercury's orbit still doesn't match theory unless general 
relativity is taken into account.

"Factor of two"? :-D

Ralph is probably confusing the precession of the perihelion of Mercury
with the gravitational deflection of light, where the correct
prediction of Einstein is twice the wrong prediction of Newton.

There is no 'right' answer. The precesssion is chaotic and unpredictable. 
It might even go backwards. The solar wind is also a factor to be 
considered in the case of highly elliptical orbits.
Einstein explained nothing. His name was simply linked to planetary 
precession to make him look clever.

That has never been proved. The Eddington expedition was a farce. It 
rained almost continuously only got a brief shot of a star. ...certainly 
not long enough to calculate its deflection.

   William Wallace Campbell (Lick Observatory) nailed it that Eddington
   was correct and Einstein's prediction of the bending a starlight by
   the sun was EXACTLY correct.  93 stars!

Campbell was a coward who switched sides when he suddenly feared that he 
might actually be missing out on an opportunity to become famous.

I have already taken note of the way the conspiracy operates...just link 
the name Einstein to anything that can't easily be proved wrong and the 
masses will lap it up.

Why do you think we don't hear about similar experiments now? I'll tell 
you why...Because they all disagree with Einstein.

   Campbell's data confirmed Einstein prediction unequivocally.

   was correct and Einstein's prediction of the bending a starlight by

Clemence calculations were based on 175 years of observations
of Mercury. (10,000+ observations!)

It is a measured _fact_ that the precession of the perihelion
was (5599.74 +/- 1.2) arcsecs per century during these 175 years.

The prediction of GR is:
Pull from the other planets: (5557.18 +/- 0.85) arcsecs per century
Relativity effect:           (  43.03 +/- 0.03) arcsecs per century
Sum:                         (5600.21 +/- 0.88) arcsecs per century

The difference is 0.47 arcsecs per century, well within the error bar.

It is true that the precession of the perihelion for each single
orbit of Mercury will vary depending on the constellations of
the planets. But the long term average precession, when all
planets have made several orbits, will be pretty stable.
And this average is predictable, calculable _and_ calculated.

It is quite nonsensical to claim that the long term average
precession is unpredictable when real measurements in
the real world show that it is as predicted by GR.

Henry's position is that this measured result is impossible and 
therefore it doesn't exist or can't be trusted. According to Henry, that 
error bar must be wrong, because the precession was likely to be 5213 
arcsec/century in one orbit, and 19348 arcsec/century in the next orbit, 
and -238 arcsec/century in the next orbit, and 1598 arcsec/century in 
the next orbit. Such a circumstance would make such a regular number as 
(5599.74 +/- 1.2) arcsecs/century patently absurd. It doesn't occur to 
Henry that the MEASURED regularity of the precession is much better than 
what he thinks it SHOULD be. And so no measurement can be made to 
overrule Henry's common sense.

It might be better but that doesn't make it constant.

What about the solar wind...and radiation pressure? It balances on the 
other half of the orbit but a shift of the axes has already occurred.
