Solution to the Advance of the Perihelion of Mercury in Newtonian Theory

Authors: Christian Corda

It is shown through three different approaches that, contrary to a long-standing conviction more than 160 years long, the orbit of Mercury behaves as required by Newton’s equations with a very high precision if one correctly analyses the situation in the framework of the two-body problem without neglecting the mass of Mercury. General relativity remains more precise than Newtonian physics, but the results in this paper show that Newtonian framework is more powerful than researchers and astronomers were thinking till now.
