Unusual Rotation Of The Planet Mercury

24th March

Wednesday

Hello everyone. Hope you guys are absolutely fine. Today I am going to talk about a unaccepted invention of Albert Einstein. On March 20, 1916, Einstein published a paper explaining the unusual rotation of Mercury using only his theory of relativity without any experiment. Which Newtonian theory has not been able to explain for centuries. But sadly, no one believed that.

The motion of Mercury is somewhat different. On average, the length of one day on Mercury is equal to 57 days, 15 hours and 30 minutes on Earth. On the other hand, one year of Mercury is equal to 7 days of Earth. But when Mercury moves closer to the sun in an elliptical path, the speed of advancing in front of it increases a bit and then the disaster happened. The length of one day becomes bigger than one year.

No one could explain this motion of Mercury through Newton's law of motion. But Einstein explained this strange motion of Mercury by his general theory of relativity without any practical experiment. His dissertation was published in the journal Annalen der Physik (49, 769).

But no one took it seriously. Because most of biggest person did not believe in the theory of relativity except for a few people. But in 1919, when the Royal Society of London officially verified Einstein's explanation of the eclipse by conducting an experimental eclipse and publicly declaring it "true," many must have looked like "Banglar Pach".

Although the theory of relativity has been proven to be true many times since then, many people still do not want to accept Einstein's theory.
