Mr. Hertz: Yes, the 43" is within the margin of error for Newtonian

There's the oblateness, the Sun's axial spin, and the barycenter orbit
to account for that, so it should suffice easily.

NO. You didn't understand me.
Regarding Newton's law of universal gravitation, you have to take ONLY
that such equations are based on INFINITE SPEED OF GRAVITY.
The theory of Gauss, based on gravitational torus, is POST-NEWTON and
also ANTI-NEWTONIAN! Gauss was the one who first introduced the concept
of GRAVITATIONAL FIELDS, 110 years before Einstein. A predecessor of
Gauss was Laplace, who imagined gravity as a fluid, but the INSPIRATION
for Einstein-Grossman to write Entwurf I and II came from Poisson and
his equations for gravity. Actually, the Entwurf I paper OPENS WiTH
Poisson equation. This one:

I have utter respect for the figure of Gauss and other figure of classic
physics (Laplace, Gauss, Euler, Poisson, etc.), but they CHALLENGED
Newton's theory of gravitation 120 years after the publication of
Principia (questioning actions at a distance). In a way, Gauss and
Poisson were closer to Faraday, Maxwell and Einstein by being pioneers
in the introduction of gravitational fields and density of spatial
matter.
Here is some data about Gauss and his law of gravity:

Don't be misguided by my comments from above.
What is wrong with GR and Mercury is that Einstein's developments were
based ON A DIFFERENCE of the Newtonian influence over Mercury's
perihelion, which (Gauss - Le Verrier - Newcomb) had a missing value of
43"/century over 575"/cy provided by observational astronomy.
The FALSE theory of Einstein about Mercury is equivalent to this stupid
FALSE equatiom:
Large number of chickens (estimated) + some chicken's eggs to be hatched
 NOT EQUAL (≠) Total number of chickens
532"/cy (badly calculated) + 43"/cy ( calculated) ≠ 575"/cy (MEASURED).
Do you understand THE ERRORS embedded in such idiotic equation?
