| Sep 15, 2013 at 16:33 | comment | added | Nicholas Pipitone | Both, the larger effect will be of more use, but the smaller effect would be interesting I'm sure (I'm assuming the smaller effect is Relativistic, like usual) | |
| Sep 15, 2013 at 16:33 | comment | added | Anthony X | If this is a reference to Mercury's orbital precession, the anomaly which cannot be explained via Newtonian mechanics matches well with the effect predicted by general relativity, making it empirical evidence in support of Einstein's theory. | |
| Sep 15, 2013 at 16:25 | comment | added | dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten | There are two significant causes. The largest one is pretty mundane and was fully understood in the 19th century. The smaller effect is the one people usually talk about, and had to wait until the early 20th century for an explanation. Which are you interested in? | |
