– PERIHELION PRECESSION OF MERCURY
CURRENT PARADIGM
- In 1859, the French mathematician and astronomer Urbain Le Verrier reported that the slow precession of Mercury's orbit around the Sun could not be completely explained by Newtonian mechanics
and perturbations by the known planets. He suggested, among possible
explanations, that another planet (or perhaps instead a series of
smaller 'corpuscules') might exist in an orbit even closer to the Sun
than that of Mercury, to account for this perturbation. (Other
explanations considered included a slight oblateness of the Sun.) The
success of the search for Neptune based on its perturbations of the orbit of Uranus led astronomers to place faith in this possible explanation, and the hypothetical planet was named Vulcan, but no such planet was ever found. The perihelion precession of Mercury is 5,600 arcseconds (1.5556°) per century relative to Earth, or 574.10±0.65 arcseconds per century relative to the inertial ICRF.
Newtonian mechanics, taking into account all the effects from the other
planets, predicts a precession of 5,557 arcseconds (1.5436°) per
century. In the early 20th century, Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity
provided the explanation for the observed precession. The effect is
small: just 42.98 arcseconds per century for Mercury; it therefore
requires a little over twelve million orbits for a full excess turn.
Similar, but much smaller, effects exist for other Solar System bodies:
8.62 arcseconds per century for Venus, 3.84 for Earth, 1.35 for Mars,
and 10.05 for 1566 Icarus. (Wikipedia - 18 Jun 2016)

COMMENTARY
The
Sun is not a blackhole. It is a blackhole composite in that it is
composed of vast numbers of blackholes in the form of nucleons.
Notwithstanding that difference, however, blackhole
composites have much the same largescale structure: they have a
(composite) gravitoncore, a gravitonocean, and a gravitonosphere. Because the Sun
is spinning, it is centrifugally structured with an equatorial disc of gravitons - a darkmatter disc - that
is flung far out into the planetary system.
The Sun's gravitonosphere is invisible to us so its presence must be inferred from
the effect it has on the objects that are moving within it. These
effects are thus:
- The
rising disc is dense and energetic so anything in the disc will be
pushed by collision to move with the direction of its flow.
- The
rising disc is dense and has considerable mass. Consequently it also
has gravitypull. Any object within the disc will be gravitypulled
toward the Sun by the disc between it and the Sun's surface and away
from the Sun by the disc that is between it and the gravitysheath
interface.
Mercury
is within the rising disc and exhibits the consequences of these
effects as a perihelion precession of its orbit. Other planets and
bodies in the Solar System also exhibit precessionary effect to a
degree that reflects their distance from the Sun's surface. General
Relativity attributes the precession of
Mercury to the increase in the curvature of space that comes with
any decrease in distance from the Sun. In the Malta Template,
space is nothingness
and nothingness cannot curve, so the curvature of space does not happen
(see Selfproof 0114).
That doesn't mean the effect is not there, however. Space isn't
empty. It is filled with vast numbers of gravitons which are marshalled into gravitonstreams by the gravityfields
through which
they move. These gravitonstreams increase in density and realspeed as they
get closer to the gravity source to which they are bound - in this
case, the Sun. The same effects that are predicted to result
from space curvature will be felt by a large object as it
moves through these gravitonstreams. On a different scale, much the
same effects can be seen in the way that ocean currents
(streams of water molecules) alter the courses of ships
and jetstreams (streams of atoms of air molecules) alter the
courses of aircraft.
