I am wondering if the following method for calculating the
relativistic precession of a highly eccentric orbit has a name, or is
available in some published document?
Using the system parameters found in http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/relativity/binpulsar.html

Let's say that you are I are playing a game in which I draw three cards from
a deck, look at them, then place them face down.  You don't get to see the
card faces.
Two of the cards are black and one is red.

Our garbage...our food waste...would almost certainly be
enough to end world hunger. I feel confident that every
state, and maybe even every major city, produces
millions of pounds of food waste every single day. That

When people discuss the big bang, you often hear
someone remark 'how can something come from nothing'?
And while such a question marks the start of
an argument from ignorance, I'm inclined

Precise clock A is fired from a cannon vertically upward.
Another twin clock B remains at rest near the cannon.
After clock A lands, which clock is ahead?
Clocks are insensitive to acclerations.

It is plain for me to understand the Soul is a law of physics
simply because I myself is one while alive.
It seems to me that without a soul to think about
the physical universe it would all be totally meaningless.

My not being a physist, except an amatuer of it; leads me to ask the
following questions of you who ARE real physicists:
When the metric system first came out why didn't the people of France
like it? Why did Napolean grant a reprieve from it?

When I was little and first heard about weightlessness training for
astronauts, I thought they put them in a plane, flew the plane at a
steep climb and the weightlessness occurred when the astronaut in
training was at the apex of the plane's climb, when he stopped going

"The Properties of the Aether"
    Of course there is no such thing as the Aether, it says so right here
in the book that the Aether has been proven not to exist. Unfortunately for
the academic elite, such a proof does not exist. As Dr. Einstein said,

The Alaska Pipelines were built in '68, and they're regarded as a
value-added engineering marvel.  Every day they pump tons of oil, and
they do so relatively efficiently.
In the same region, there is a lot of freshwater.  Also, diametrically

Some days it is my hope and the hope of many others for the USA to be
strongly free and not a vavering Democracy as tenous as Germany in the
1920's.
A common fact.  After the USA's civil war we allowed slaver owners to

I'm a freshman math student in college, but have taken only one
introductory course in physics.  At the time, I didn't like it, as the
incessant pulley calculuations and frictionless block problems seemed
dull, but I have decided to try to give another go at physics study,

Please drop your pants, bend slightly at the waist, and gripping your left
foot behind your back just go ahead and kick yourself right in the a.s on

If we take x or y in dy/dt = A(t) + B(t)y + C(t)y^2, the Riccati
Differential Equation, equal to spin, then since spin in Quantum
Mechanics "measures" angular momentum, which classically is based upon
