CHAPTER SEVEN
PRECESSIONAL THEORY
ECE2 theory gives an exact description of light deflection due to gravity and also of
planar orbital precession, as described in UFT342 and UFT325, where a fundamental new
hypothesis was introduced, one that imposed an upper bound on the Lorentz factor. It was
shown in UFT325 that massive particles such as electrons can travel at the speed of light
without violating fundamental laws. This fact is well known experimentally at accelerators
such as SLAC and CERN, which routinely accelerate electrons to c. The new hypothesis of
UFT325 also means that photons with mass can travel at c. In UFT328 planar orbital
precession was described without additional hypothesis simply by simultaneously solving the
hamiltonian and lagrangian ofECE2 theory. None of these methods use the incorrect and
obsolete Einstein theory.
The planetary precession of the perihelion is known experimentally with claimed
accuracy, although there have been severe criticisms by Myles Mathis and others, developed
in the UFT papers on www.aias.us {1- 12}. Accepting the experimental claims for the sake
of argument, the experimental data are summarized empirically as follows:

object m orbits. G is Newton's constant, cis the universal constant known as the vacuum
speed of light and rL is the half right latitu~e of the orbit, for example a precessing
ellipse and f is the eccentricity. Both J and t are observable with precision. In
the solar system x is very close to unity.

an equation which is analyzed numerically and graphically later in this chapter. It is
demonstrated that r l6) from Eq. ( )J! ) is a precessing ellipse. This confirms the results
ofUFT328 and shows that ECE2 relativity produces a precessing ellipse directly from the
lagrangian and hamiltonian, without any additional assumption. This theory is Lorentz
covariant in a space of finite torsion and curvature and is part of the ECE2 generally
covariant unified field theory.
In UFT343 the Thomas and de Sitter precessions are developed with ECE2
relativity. In the standard physics, Thomas precession is the rotation of the Minkowski line
element and de Sitter precession is the rotation ofthe Schwarzschild line element. In previous
UFT papers { 1 - 12} it has been shown that the derivation of the Schwarzschild li.ne element
is riddled with errors, notably it is based on an incorrect geometry without torsion. The
Thomas frame rotation in the Newtonian limit is:
where (,.) e is the constant angular velocity of frame rotation. The angle e t is that of
a rotating plane polar coordinate system denoted ( r' e I ). The total angular velocity is

The reason for Eq. ( ~'--\- ) is that de Sitter or geodedic precession is defined by rotating the
plane polar coordinates system in which the precession of the planar orbit is observed. The
original method by Sitter was much mor complicated and based on the incorrect Einstein
field equation.
In contrast, Eq. ( ~~ ) is rigorously correct and much simpler, and based on the
theory ofECE2 relativity.
The orbital velocity from Eq. ( 3 \ ) is:

In the numerical analysis and graphics ofUFT343 it is shown that the Thomas
precession produces a precessing orbit, which is therefore produced by rotating the plane
polar coordinate system.
Planetary precession can also be thought of as a Larmor precession as described in
UFT344, it is the Larmor precession produced by the torque between the gravitomagnetic
field of the sun and the gravitomagnetic dipole moment ofthe planet. In general any
astronomical precession can be be explained with the ECE2 gravitational field equations.
This goes beyond what the obsolete Einstein theory was capable of. In UFT318 the ECE2
gravitational field equations were derived in a space in which equation are Lorentz covariant,
and in which the torsion and vurvatire are both non zero. This is known as -ECE2 covariance.
In UFT117 and UFT119 the gravitomagnetic Amp~re la~ was used to describe the earth's
gravitomagnetic precession and the {ecession of the equinox.
Consider the magnetic dipole moment of electromagnetism:
-where -e is the charge on the electron, m its mass and L its orbital angular momentum. The -following torque:
\'\f ---
is produced between m and a magnetic flux density B. Such a torque is animated by the well - -known Evans Pelkie animation on www.aias.us and youtube. The Larmor pecessional
frequency due to the torque is:
-=-- ~o t ~
d..~ where g is the Land{ factor described in previous chapters.
This well known theory can be adapted for planetary precession by calculating the
gravitomagnetic dipole moment and using the orbital angular momentum of a planet. The
charge-e on the electron is replaced by the orbiting mass m, so the gravitomagnetic dipole
moment is:
L - -L l -(4-<i\ l- :J
and is a constant of motion. The orbital angular momentum is defined by:

In general this theory is valid for any type of orbit, but for a planar orbit:

resulting in the gravitomagnetic Larmor precession frequency:

this theory is the gravitomagnetic Larmor precession frequency. For example consider the
sun to be a rotating sphere. It rotates every 27 days or so around an axis tilted to the axis of
rotation of the earth, so h {c:vett is not parallel to k $""'"'- and there is a non

The well known geodetic and Lense Thirring precessions can be calculated
straightforwardly in ECE2 theory as in UFT345. Consider the gravitomagnetic field of the

Gravity Probe B was in polar orbit, orbiting in a plane perpendicular to the equator in a

is not clear from the literature how the Lense Thirring effect is isolated experimentally from
the geodetic precession. For the sake of argument we accept the experimental claims.

The experimental claim is:

The theory is in good agreement with the experimental claim. It has been assumed
that the angular momentum needed for Eq. ( OU, ) is generated by a static earth in a
rotating frame. This is the passive rotation equivalent to the active rotation of Gravity Probe
B around the centre of the earth in a polar orbit once every ninety minutes. Exact agreement
I with the experimental data can be obtained by assuming an effective gravitomagnetic Lande
factor, or by assuming that the rotation is described more generally by:

be obtained from the gravitational field equations of ECE2.
These field equations can be used to explain any astronomical precession in terms
of magnitude of vorticity and the result can be expressed in terms of the tetrad and spin
connection of Cartan geometry. This theory can be applied to the Lense Thirring, geodetic
and perihelion precessions to give exact agreement in each case in terms of the vorticity of
the underlying mathematical space of the ECE2 theory. Th~ perihelion precession in this
type of theory is developed in terms of the orbital angular momentum of the sun as seen from
the earth. In general any precession can be developed in terms of the magnitude of the
vorticity spacetime, which can be expressed in terms of a well defined combination of tetrad
and spin connection. This combination appears in the ECE2 gravitational field equations.
As shown in Notes 346(1) to 346(3) any precession can be described in the dipole
approximation in terms of angular momentum L:

When this equation is applied to perihelion precession of the earth about the sun, r is the -distance from the earth to the sun. If the sun is considered to rotate about an axis k, the plane -tl of the earth's orbit is inclined to the plane perpendicular to k at an angle of 7.25 . So as in

In direct analogy, the Lense Thirring precession of the earth with respect to the sun is due to
to the latter's spin angular momentum about its own axis. !he sun spins once every 27 days
about its axis, so the relevant angular momentum in this case is the spin angular momentum
ofthe sun:
--L -~
Similarly the Lense Thirring precession of Gravity Probe B is due to the spin of the earth
every 24 hours. This spin produces a mass current and a gravitomagnetic dipole moment:
~d ur0 ~ ~_s _(\:D.) due to spin angular momentum.
The perihelion precession of the earth is a geodetic precession caused by an
orbital angular momentum, the orbital angular momentum of the sun, which is observed in ·a
frame of reference fixed on the earth.
As in previous chapters the magnetic flux density B of ECE2 theory can be -defined by curvature through theW potential: -

which defines the gravitomagnetic field as a vorticity in analogy with fluid dynamics. This
analogy is developed later in this book in chapters eight and nine. The vorticity is that of
spacetime, or the aether or vacuum.
It follows that any precession can be defined precisely as follows:

aether. If it is assumed that:

then the spacetime is inviscid, and in chapters 8 and 9 it is shown that spacetime is in general
a fluid. The field equations of fluid dynamics can be unified with those of electrodynamics

algebra to check the above calculations.
Using ECE2 relativity and the minimal prescription the hamiltonian for a particle
in the presence of a gravitomagnetic potential can be defined. The lagrangian can be
calculated from the hamiltonian using the canonical momentum and the relevant Euler
Lagrange equations used to derive the gravitomagnetic Lorentz force equation. In the absence
of gravitomagnetism this equation reduces to the Newton equation. The precession frequency
of the Lorentz force equation is an rbital precession frequency of any kind. This method
gives a simple general theory of precession in ECE2 relativity.
Consider the gravitomagnetic minimal prescription:

In UFT328 it was shown that simultaneous solution of the hamiltonian and lagrangian leads
to orbital precession. The above analysis confirms that finding.
It can be shown as follows that a new type of precessing ellipse emerges from the
hamiltonian ( \ \." ), so this is the simplest way of describing any precession. The
precessing ellipse obtained in this way is a rigorous and accurate description of the
experimentally observed orbit because the observed precession frequency is used in the
equations. The calculated precessing ellipse is similar in structure to:

but in this new theory xis no longer a constant. For a uniform gravitomagnetic field the
Lorentz force equation reduces to a precessional Binet equation. The orbit calculated from
the hamiltonian can be used in this precessional Binet equation to give the force law. Later on
in this chapter a description is given with graphics of the methods used to produce the
precessing orbit.
