What reading level is Gravitation Versus Relativity a Non Technical Explanation of the Fundamental Pr book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This assumption is obviously not true for the planets, and is probably not true for the sun. A simple calculation will show that a very small departure from sphericity in the sun will suffice to ac- count for the motion of the perihelion of Mercury. In fact, if the equatorial diameter of the sun should be only o". 6 greater than the polar, then, this ellipticity alone is sufficient to give the perihelion of Mercury a motion of 40 " per century, and to fully reconcile the difference between the ...observed and the calculated mo- tions. Newcomb, however, pointed out two difficulties in the way of accepting this explanation ; the heliometer measures of the sun made by the German observers, and the fact that any such ellipticity of the sun would introduce other discordances into the system.
An ellipticity of the sun sufficient to produce the observed motion in the perihelion of Mercury would also produce various motions in the other elements. It would give rise to a forward motion in the node of Venus and thus go far towards accounting for the Gravitation versus Relativity second large discrepancy pointed out by Newcomb.
