I know of Copernicus through the technical details of planetary
dynamics which you and the rest of the empiricists refuse to accept
even when time lapse footage of the Earth overtaking Jupiter and
Saturn consigns the stupid perspective of Newton, in regards to
apparent retrogrades and their resolution, to nothing more than a
mathematician trying to appear like an astronomer -

I could understand the reasons why Newton chose to look at retrogrades
from the predicting/modelling agenda but it will always amount to a
distortion that is effectively worthless,be the schem be ever so
elaborate -

" For to the earth planetary motions appear sometimes direct,
sometimes stationary, nay, and sometimes retrograde. But from the sun
they are always seen direct," Newton

That statement by the mathematician Newton is actually
forgivable ,given that it looks right even though it isn't,what is
unconscionable is that presently,with the aid of modern imaging,not a
single person has affirmed that Copernicus got retrogrades and their
resolution right leaving Newton's dumb view nowhere.This is why I can
say with certainty that people must absolutely hate astronomy for no
intelligent person could watch this intellectual holocaust happen.

There you go Sam,work gets done whether people are responsive or not,
and only out generation will be hated if it does not correct what
needs to be corrected and move on to productive investigations.
