Hypergeometrical Universe Predicts both Mercury Perihelion Precession

Hypergeometrical Universe Predicts both Mercury Perihelion Precession and Gravitational Lensing

My theory is a 5D Spacetime theory with a 4D non-compact spatial Manifold. It is presented in this blog

http://hypergeometricaluniverse.blogspot.com

It is certainly consistent with Strict Relativity since its 4D Spacetime is Minkowskian (metric is Lorentz Transform). Within the theory I was able to prove that the speed of light is the limit as opposed to have it as a postulate as Einstein did in his Theory of Relativity.

Now I demonstrated that the theory also predicts the correct precession rate for the Mercury perihelion

and the angle of deviation for the Gravitational Lensing Effect.

In addition, my theory was able to explain the existence of White Orifices (double jets emanating from Cylindrical or Torus-like Black Holes)

I also created a Sam Wormley Challenge

offering a weekend trip to NYC to anyone of his students that proves my theory incorrect (find a fatal flaw in it..:) Please read the small print...:) Well, initially it was just for his students, later I expanded the scope of competitors...:)

I also provided the meaning of spin and requested criticism in the shape of a scientific argument...:)

Evidence found of solar system around nearby star

WASHINGTON — For the first time, astronomers think that they've found evidence of an alien solar system around a star close enough to Earth to be visible.

The host star, slightly smaller and cooler than our sun, is in the constellation Eridanus — the name of a mythological river — near Orion in the northern sky.

"This really is a system like our solar system was when it was five times younger than it is now," said one of the discoverers, Massimo Marengo , an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass. "It's like a time machine for our solar system."

"This system probably looks a lot like ours did when life first took root on Earth," said Dana Backman , of the SETI Institute in Mountain View, Calif. , the lead author of a report to be published Jan. 10 in The Astrophysical Journal .

SETI chose Epsilon Eridani as one of the first targets in its long — but so far vain — search for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence in 1960.

The suspected planets are too far away to be detected directly, so their presence has to be inferred by indirect measurements. Their star is so near, however, that some astronomers think that they may be able to see its planets with better telescopes within the next decade.

Small asteroid headed for light show over Africa

WASHINGTON – A small asteroid was headed for a fiery but harmless dive into Earth's atmosphere early Tuesday morning over Africa, astronomers said in a first of its kind advance warning.

Harvard scientists announced late Monday afternoon that the asteroid 2008 TC3 would burn up in the sky, making a fireball potentially visible to people in northern Africa. Measuring between 3 feet and 15 feet in diameter, the rock was expected to enter Earth's atmosphere above Sudan at 10:46 p.m. EDT Monday, just before dawn in Africa.

Harvard astronomer Tim Spahr said the asteroid was so small it wouldn't reach the ground before burning up and wouldn't hurt anyone, but the fireball should be seen heading from west to east.

"It's the first time we've been able to predict an impactor in advance and it'll be quite a celestial show for the world," said D. Yeomans, manager of NASA's Near Earth Object program, which tracks asteroids and comets that come close.
