notes 216(1) and (2)

Many thanks again! These values of photon mass are plausible given the rough approximations used, and can of course be refined using the PLAnck distribution and in many other ways. In the last two notes the famous twice Newton result is derived classically with the precessing hyperbolae orbit for x = 0.378.

I recalculated the notes, there seem to be slight numerical differences. The computer results are:

first note:
eq.(7) epsilon = 4.70867 * 10^5
eq.(34) m = 1.785 * 10^-46 kg

second note, last equation:
m = 2.225 * 10^-35 kg

The iterative scheme defined by eq.(21) does not give different results in the first 10 decimal places or so, the approximation (24) is valid.
