Scientific paper

A modification of the Newtonian force law proposed by Rood is shown not
to yield the correct value for the relativistic precession of the
perihelion of Mercury, contrary to the claim by Rood. Instead, the
theory is shown to yield 3/2 times the prediction of general relativity,
in gross disagreement with solar system observations.
