As you have done many times previously, you make a guess based on the
existence of something that has not been observed. When asked to make a
testable prediction, you refuse and say something snide.

Are you going to present your testable prediction, or are you going to say
something snide? I'm leaning towards 'something snide'.

Dance for me, puppet.

It should be obvious that, if a force takes time to operate, its direction of
action will vary with relative target speed.
One doesn't have to be a genius to deduce that orbit precession will result
from this.

Fascinating. So according to you, no central force with a finite
transmission speed can produce a stable elliptical orbit? And you say
this is obvious?
Would you like to work through that derivation, or would you prefer to
check a mechanics book first to be sure you're not saying something
patently stupid?

Since you feel it is obvious, where is your derivation for Mercury's
perihelion precession?

You could undermine relativity pretty nicely if you could do so, wouldn't
you agree? That is , of course, assuming you can actually do what you claim
and aren't just guessing as you are wont to do.
