It 'works' because GR don't predicts precession of... Moon.


Earth axial precession (equinox): 50.3 arcsec / year.
Yes?

Jupiter - Sun (second body correction):
pi/T * m/M = pi/11.86 y /1050 = 52.03 as/ y;

Earth:
pi/1 y * m/M = pi/333000 = 1.95 as / y

Observed from Earth - difference:
~50 arcsec / year; T = ~25800 years.

Moon & Sun tidal forces -> 50.3 ?
Maybe... but 0.3;

So you're saying that General Relativity correctly predicts the motion
of Mercury? Then what are you on about?

If you have a point please make it in complete sentences.

GR predicts optical illusion (but not exactly):

43/415 / 1296000 = 8.0e-8;

dt/t = dr/r = dphi/2pi = pi (v/c)^2;
v = 47.8 km/s;

this is 1/4 Shapiro delay (it's simple Sagnac):
dt/t = 4pi (v/c)^2;

wr = v^2 = GM/r; t = 4r/c;
===================

GR:
dphi/2pi = 3 GM/c^2p = 3/(1-e^2) GM/ac^2;

coincidence: e = ~0.206;
3/(1-e^2) = ~pi;

and you have:
dphi/2pi = pi * GM/ac^2 = pi (v/c)^2;

In the meantime, keep drinking more fermented diarrhea of Einstein the

There has never been a believable experiment that supports SR.
