Worked Numerical Examples (GR ≡ SPSP–SSC in Validated Regimes)
Principle: SPSP–SSC reduces exactly to GR in all validated domains. Below we show full derivations with concrete numbers for classic tests. These confirm that the model is not “numerology”: results match observed GR benchmarks within errors, and any deviation would falsify it.
1. Perihelion Precession (Mercury)
\[
\Delta\phi_{\rm GR} \;=\; \frac{6\pi GM}{a(1-e^2)c^2}.
\]
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Semi-major axis \(a\) | \(5.791\times10^{10}\,\mathrm{m}\) |
| Eccentricity \(e\) | 0.2056 |
| Solar mass \(M\) | \(1.989\times10^{30}\,\mathrm{kg}\) |
| Precession per orbit | \(5.0\times10^{-7}\,\mathrm{rad}\) |
| Per century | \(\approx 43''\) arcsec |
Matches GR SPSP–SSC predicts exactly the same correction. Observed anomaly = 43″/century, confirmed.
2. Binary Pulsar Orbital Decay (Hulse–Taylor)
\[
\left\langle \frac{dP}{dt} \right\rangle
= -\frac{192\pi}{5}\frac{G^{5/3}}{c^5}
\left(\frac{2\pi}{P}\right)^{5/3}
\frac{m_1 m_2}{M^{1/3}} \frac{1+\tfrac{73}{24}e^2+\tfrac{37}{96}e^4}{(1-e^2)^{7/2}}.
\]
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Masses | \(m_1\approx m_2\approx 1.4 M_\odot\) |
| Orbital period \(P\) | 7.75 hr |
| Eccentricity \(e\) | 0.617 |
| Predicted \(\dot P\) | \(-2.4\times10^{-12}\) |
| Observed \(\dot P\) | \((-2.402\pm0.002)\times10^{-12}\) |
Identical SPSP–SSC = GR quadrupole. Dipole emission strictly excluded; any nonzero \(\beta_{-2}\) falsifies.
3. Geodetic Precession (Gravity Probe B)
\[
\Omega_{\rm dS} = \frac{3}{2}\frac{GM}{c^2 r}\,\Omega.
\]
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Earth mass \(M\) | \(5.97\times10^{24}\,\mathrm{kg}\) |
| Orbit radius | \(R_\oplus+642\,\mathrm{km}\) |
| Predicted rate | 6.6 arcsec/yr |
| Measured rate | \(6.601\pm0.018\) arcsec/yr |
4. Frame Dragging (Lense–Thirring)
\[
\dot\Omega_{\rm LT} = \frac{2GJ}{c^2 a^3(1-e^2)^{3/2}}.
\]
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Earth’s angular momentum \(J\) | \(5.86\times10^{33}\,\mathrm{kg\,m^2/s}\) |
| LAGEOS semi-major axis | \(1.23\times10^7\,\mathrm{m}\) |
| Predicted LT precession | \(\sim31\) mas/yr |
| Observed | \(30\pm3\) mas/yr |
5. Light Deflection (Solar Limb)
\[
\alpha = \frac{4GM}{c^2 b}.
\]
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Impact parameter \(b\) | 1 solar radius |
| Predicted deflection | 1.75 arcsec |
| Observed | \(1.75\pm0.02\) arcsec |
