We cannot calculate the tensor for every point on an entire orbit (or
even less than that.) General Relativity does not take us forward
experimentally rather theoretically. Calculating an orbit with it
cannot be done to completion. We have approximation.

Why would you say something that silly? Of course you can calculate the
tensor for the entire orbit.

Since the orbit is inertial, it's just a geodesic defined by the metric;
and that is one of the simplest things to calculate.

I doubt it.

There is a different tensor for every point along an eliptical orbit.
For a circular orbit you would be right. There is infinite
calculations to be done.

The fact is orbit motion speeds up toward perehlion and slows down
toward apehelion.

I doubt it.

I won for unmoving acceleration and wave function collapse.

If you mean that the (one) tensor changes value throughout the orbit,
I'll agree, but I don't see that the orbit *requires* more than one
tensor. As far as recalculating the tensor, that's really what computers
are for. At any rate, to get a closed form solution just start with the
metric and calculate the geodesic of the orbit: simple.

So what, it's still included in the geodesic. Also the precession of the
orbit is included. So I don't see the problem.

You are such a b---sh--er! The Nobel committee hasn't made the 2008
announcements yet and your name is not on the previous list:

Given that you are such a liar, I doubt you will ever be a Nobel Laureate.
