On Newton's paradoxes

In the present paper we examine the consequences of such a fact and show that they affect the entire Celestial Mechanics, being related to the very small 43” per century of the perihelion shift of Mercury as well as to the substantial 50” per year of the grand phenomenon of the lunisolar precession.
