MCR_Hans does not have to answer this: You are wrong. The explanation of the Mercury Perihelion Precession Anomaly in GR has nothing to do with time dilation or length contraction.If this really is what GR predict there is no way GR can explain the Mercury Perihelion Precession Anomaly.. Because if distances (the meter stick) is increasing its relative length with the same rate as time ticks slower, the anomaly could not happen.
Now me and your mother cow can see that you are unable to read.Now me and mother cow can see you must speak about SR – this has nothing with Mercury Perihelion Precession Anomaly to do, - why do you then mention it ?
is not about SR.Because MASS does not change. In orbital mechanics, both velocity and distance (=spacetime) AND mass are part of the equation. Simply put, the relationship between mass and spacetime changes, and this is the explanation for the Mercury Perihelion Precession Anomaly.
MRC_Hans is a bit wrong: velocity and distance happen within space-time.Now you say ; velocity and distance = spacetime, (so far I have understood you )..
So far I have understood you before; only mass / gravity are responsible for GR / space-time (and muuh-time) . So when will you make up your mind.
In other words: The geometry of GR has includes a definition of distance. Objects that move, move in space-time.
In GR, it is the stress-energy tensor (often called the stress-energy-momomentum tensor) that is responsible for the curvature of space-time and so gravity.
