Appendix IV — Bibliography and other related links
This is just a small overview of websites I use for my own reference which contain some interesting links.
Steve Jobs (Stanford Speech):
”Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.”

NASA site with understandable content about our solar system
Tools used in the calculations:
-
JPL Horizons is a federally funded research and development center managed for NASA by Caltech
The JPL Horizons on-line solar system data and ephemeris computation service provides access to key solar system data and flexible production of highly accurate ephemerides for solar system objects (1,340,996 asteroids, 3,910 comets, 290 planetary satellites (includes satellites of Earth and dwarf planet Pluto), 8 planets, the Sun, L1, L2, select spacecraft, and system barycenters). Horizons is provided by the Solar System Dynamics Group of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Webgeocalc (WGC) provides a web-based graphical user interface to many of the observation geometry computations available from the “SPICE” system Earth against J2000 (ICRF) Planets against ECLIPJ2000_DE405

This article about the invariable plane gave me some insight
Although it is a on the fringe of science, this website actually gave me some insights. https://www.flight-light-and-spin.com/n-body/gravity.htm https://www.flight-light-and-spin.com/n-body/mercury-perihelion.htm
The takeaway being the perihelion precession is not explained with Einstein theory of relativity.
On the proof of general relativity.
The background about the Gravity Probe B - The longest-running project in NASA’s history –
After NASA pulled the plug in 2008, private funding arranged by an executive at Capital One Financial and the royal family of Saudi Arabia bought some extra time to clean up the data.

About the term “golden spiral” which actually is a “logarithmic spiral”, (also known as an “equiangular spiral”) as can be found in a number of natural phenomenon.
https://medium.com/@luizeduardogasparelo/spiral-and-elliptical-galaxies-in-eden-0f6d465bf8e5
This structure can be found in the way the barycenters are structured. Also have a look at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_spiral And have a look over here: https://goldenratiomyth.weebly.com/the-logarithmic-spiral.html

1/25,770 – 1/68,000 = 1/41,000
Also over here there are references to the same kind of formula: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/astronomical-influence-on-climate.242588/
Obliquity is 1/25765 - 1/70000 = 1/40772

This is a nice read and helped me a lot to understand all motions. The conclusions are different then as described in this book.
Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent search engines in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information.
Here is a list of search engines you never heard of
Refseek - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.
worldcat - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.
springer - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.
bioline is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.
recep - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.
science.goc is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.
base-search is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free
The work from Robert Tulip helped me along the way to look at the precession figures.
