HyperGeometrical Universe Theory

Thus

Yielding the following change of variables (t->θ) and (r=1/u)

thus

This simple equation can be solved promptly if one considers that the terms in parentheses are very close to one for astronomical conditions.

The solution is given by:

Where ε is a constant of integration.

Or

The precession of Mercury’s perihelion is given by the change in angle for θ=2π

If one consider that

Considering that the precession of the perihelion or apogee are the same, let’s consider the apogee. The precession is given by:

Then the formula for the precession rate is given by:

Gerber and Einstein obtained a more complex version of this formula. Let’s see if one can simplify Einstein’s equation into ours.

Einstein equation is given by:

ε=Eccentricity, a=Semi-major axis, τ=Orbital period.

Under standard assumptions the orbital period () of a body traveling along an elliptic orbit can be computed as:

• is standard gravitational parameter,
  
• is length of semi-major axis.
  

Replacing the period and the semi-major axis in terms of R₀ yields:

Substituting

Which is the same result!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


This means that given that Gerber’s Gravitational potential is also the Hypergeometrical Gravitational Potential and that Gerber’s work has been totally dismissed, I cocluded that the cause was inconsistencies in the logic used to derive the Gravitational Potential.

In Gerber’s Gravity, the author emphasized that despite Gerber’s result yielded the observed precession, it does not provide the same equations as General Relativity – as if this were necessarily a problem.

The gravitational radius of the Sun is m = 1.475 km and the semilatus rectum of Mercury’s orbit is L = (5.544)107 km, so the precession of Mercury’s orbit due to this effect (excluding the perturbations of the other planets, etc.) is 0.1034 arc seconds per revolution. Mercury completes 414.93 revolutions per century, so its orbit precesses (due to this effect) by 42.9 arc seconds per century, in excellent agreement with what is observed. This formula also gives values for all other known bodies orbiting the Sun consistent with observation.

We should mention that although general relativity and Gerber’s potential predict the same first-order precession (for weak fields), the respective equations of motion are not identical, even at the first non-Newtonian level of approximation. In terms of the parameter u = 1/r the equations of motion are

so the non-Newtonian terms are actually quite different. Of course, any non-Newtonian terms will lead to orbits that fail to close, so there will be some cumulative precession for the two-body problem. It just so happens that the term +3mu2 in the GR equation of motion and the term 6mu d2u/d2 in Gerber’s equation of motion both result in a first-order precession of 6m/L in the slow weak-field limit. Thus Gerber did not in any way anticipate the two-body equation of motion predicted by general relativity, let alone the field equations from which the relativistic equation of motion is derived.

Nevertheless, we have verified that Gerber’s potential (1) does indeed yield the observed non-Newtonian precession for planetary orbits, so we return to the question of the how Gerber arrived at this particular form, and whether it has any consistent representation.

Eventually, the author tries to derive Gerber’s potential using an argument based upon retarded potentials.

Since we arrived at the same equation obtained by Gerber and Einstein and we know that there has been extensive testing of this equation on the calculation of precession of other planets, spacecrafts, etc. there is no need to pose any more arguments to support the Hypergeometrical Gravitational Equation.

Overzealous Wikipedia editors concluded that because Gerber’s argument leading to the Hypergeometrical Gravitational Potential was flawed and thus he did not preceded Einstein in deriving the correct formula for the precession of Mercury’s Perihelion. Currently this subtle details is very relevant because the editors believe that General Relativity equations and reality are the same. Somehow, they see other theories as ad-hoc but failed to see how ad-hoc General Relativity and Einstein equations are. Anything that describes the Universe with a parametrized (Unknon) metric cannot be anything other than an Ad-Hoc theory…:)

It also seems that Gerber made a mistake in deriving the Gravitational Lensing angle. Somehow “experts” did not catch his mistake.

I did it correctly and reached the appropriate result.

Thus the Hypergeometrical Universe Theory also “predicts” the Precession of Mercury’s Perihelion, the Gravitational Lensing angle, the White Orifice phenomena and thus equates and surpasses General Relativity in its achievement. Needless to say, it provides the reason for having the speed of light as the limit, provides an alternative model for the Gravity induced metric (spacetime) deformation.

Gerber model is a limit of my theory where one considers that body 1 is not rotating. It yields the correct value for the precession constant (42.3 arc seconds per century).

Gerber’s Results:

Paul Gerber reached an identical Gravitational Potential and from there derived the precession of Mercury’s Perihelion

According to Gerber, the relation of the speed of gravity (c) and the Perihelion shift (Ψ) is:

ε=Eccentricity, a=Semi-major axis, τ=Orbital period.

It was noted by the Einstein- and relativity critic Ernst Gehrcke in 1916,[A 3] that this formula is mathematically identical to Albert Einstein‘s formula (1915) for general relativity.[A 4]

, where e=Eccentricity, a=Semi-major axis, T=Orbital period.

Data on Mercury

Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and the eighth largest. Mercury is slightly smaller in diameter than the moons Ganymede and Titan but more than twice as massive.

orbit: 57,910,000 km (0.38 AU) from Sun

diameter: 4,880 km

mass: 3.30e23 kg

Mercury’s orbit is highly eccentric; at perihelion it is only 46 million km from the Sun but at aphelion it is 70 million. The position of the perihelion precesses around the Sun at a very slow rate. 19th century astronomers made very careful observations of Mercury’s orbital parameters but could not adequately explain them using Newtonian mechanics. The tiny differences between the observed and predicted values were a minor but nagging problem for many decades. It was thought that another planet (sometimes called Vulcan) slightly closer to the Sun than Mercury might account for the discrepancy. But despite much effort, no such planet was found. The real answer turned out to be much more dramatic: Einstein‘s General Theory of Relativity! Its correct prediction of the motions of Mercury was an important factor in the early acceptance of the theory.

Data on Sun

Our Sun is a normal main-sequence G2 star, one of more than 100 billion stars in our galaxy.

diameter: 1,390,000 km.

mass: 1.989e30kg

temperature: 5800 K (surface)

15,600,000 K (core)

The Sun is by far the largest object in the solar system. It contains more than 99.8% of the total mass of the Solar System (Jupiter contains most of the rest).

Orbital period

Under standard assumptions the orbital period () of a body traveling along an elliptic orbit can be computed as:

where:

• is standard gravitational parameter,
  
• is length of semi-major axis.
  

Conclusions:

• The orbital period is equal to that for a circular orbit with the orbit radius equal to the semi-major axis (),
  
• The orbital period does not depend on the eccentricity (See also: Kepler’s third law).
  

Thus

Yielding the following change of variables (t->θ) and (r=1/u)

thus

This simple equation can be solved promptly if one considers that the terms in parentheses are very close to one for astronomical conditions.
