Abstract

We have discovered the most general classical field of force for which the orbit of a test-particle is invariably plane. If the relativistic equations of a test-particle are interpreted in the classical sense, a general result is obtained, of which a particular case accounts for the orbit of Mercury being plane even according to relativists.
