- relativity::perihelion_advance(gm, a, e) = 6πGM/(c²a(1 − e²)) per orbit, from
Will (2014) Eq. 64 with γ = β = 1. With JPL's J2000 elements it gives Mercury's
42.98″ per century (Will's Eq. 65).
- New tests, each value read from its paper:
- fractional_frequency_shift: JILA's 1.09e-19/mm at g = 9.796 and Wisconsin's
10.9e-19/cm at g = 9.803 (both measured within 1σ).
- The solar redshift: 636.31, 633.35 and 633.10 m/s (González Hernández 2020).
- shapiro_delay: Cassini's round trip, 262.4 µs, against Will's Eq. 63.
- geodetic_precession: the lunar de Sitter precession, 1.919″ per century
("about 2").
- perihelion_advance: S2 from GRAVITY 2020's Table E.1, 12.16′ against their
12.1′.
- cargo fmt over the crate; lib.rs and the 0.5.x frame-dragging test had drifted
from it, and CI checks fmt.

Item 14 of FusionVault/physica#3: published values for geo5d's existing relativity formulas, plus the planned
perihelion_advance. I read every value from its paper (arXiv PDF) and set tolerances to the published digits.fractional_frequency_shiftfractional_frequency_shiftshapiro_delaygeodetic_precessionperihelion_advance(new)Findings:
