I developed an explanation of orbital precession that does not require
GR. It only uses 2 well accepted physical formulas and some math. It
can be viewed at:

I await your personal attacks and name calling.

Thank you very much.

The mercury's perihelion advance is 5599 arc second,
or two degrees per century.

The value you need to find is 5599, not 43.


The other-than-43 stuff is imposed by perturbations from other
planets, and the effect from a rotating coordinate system.
