No mess here. Just you being anachronistic.



The 'definitional' mess is due to the lack of astronomers insofar as any

lover of the celestial arena would never have required a planet to be

isolated outside the original context of their 'wandering' motions.



How delicate the partitioning between inner and outer planets as they

wander against the background stars from two different perspective but

these insights are so fragile that they vanish for the crude observers

like yourselves who never encountered an astronomical fact that your cult didn't destroy.







The planets don't wander around against the background stars. They orbit

the Sun.

There are no fragile insights. Just predictable motions which are obvious

to all those who are capable of appreciating three dimensions - that

doesn't include you with your green cats.



The line-of-sight observation as the orbital motion of the Earth through

space generates a picture where the stars move behind the Sun in sequence -

The planets follow roughly the same route as those stars as they move

along their orbital plane but the inner planets wander against the

direction of the background stars as they emerge from the Sun and enter

back into the Sun having reached their widest point from the Sun as seen

from a moving Earth and then move in the direction of the stars for the

other half of their orbits as the inner planets move in front of the central Sun -

You have already disgraced yourself enough by putting the Sun in

circumpolar motion when the ancient astronomers up to the time of

Copernicus used the apparent motion of the Sun through the constellations

only as an orbital feature -



But they were wrong.

It's the Earth which orbits, not the Sun.


The working principles of astronomy at the time of Copernicus and Kepler
used the apparent motions of the planets and Sun together through the
Zodiac to ascertain the time it took the planets and Sun to make a
circuit through the background stars hence they switched the position of
the Sun with the orbital motion of the Earth and determined the Sun was stationary -

" The 10th argument,taken from the periodic times, is as follows; the
apparent movement of the Sun has 365 days which is the mean measure
between Venus' period of 225 days and Mars' period of 687 days.Therefore
does not the nature of things shout out loud that the circuits in which
those 365 days are taken up has a mean position between the circuits of
Mars and Venus around the Sun and thus this is not the circuit of the Sun
around the Earth -for none of the primary planets has its orbit arranged
around the Earth but the circuit of the Earth around the resting Sun,just
as the other planets,namely Mars and Venus,complete their own periods by
running around the Sun." Kepler

What I have done is different to the older astronomers by virtue of
adjusting perspectives to suit inner and outer planetary retrogrades and
separate resolutions. It is a genuine achievement whether people choose
to recognize it or not but then again you poor empiricists never
understood your own system let alone the working principles of astronomers.

What you have done is different to older astronomers. They were often
right, You are rarely right



Wish somebody else would begin to use contemporary tools and start to
enjoy these things as I have done for so long.

No! Your flawed perceptions stopped you perceiving what is obvious to us.
when you eventually come across some simple YouTube video you then
misunderstand it and think you have discovered something new.

















"Moreover, we see the other five planets also retrograde at times, and

stationary at either end [of the regression]. And whereas the sun always

advances along its own direct path, they wander in various ways, straying

sometimes to the south and sometimes to the north; that is why they are

called "planets" [wanderers]. " Copernicus



To resolve inner planetary retrogrades the more productive line-of-sight

motion of the stars behind the central Sun is required in order to create

the magnificent grandstand view of the motion of the inner planets as seen from Earth .



To explain the retrogrades all that's needed is the ability to visualise in

three dimensions - which you don't possess.



Any other era and this would be a wonderful occasion which adds to the

achievement of the first heliocentric astronomers so I enjoy the insight

alone and in honor of those men and perhaps the experience of using new

tools at a time when others can't.



In any other era you would be derided as a bloody minded idiot who refused

to see reason. No different to today.



You should stop believing in magic. The universe is as it is. We observe it

and formulate laws which describe how it functions. You get confused

between laws of nature and human laws. We don't tell the planets what to

do, we just deduce how they do it.

Then we can see if the planets behave as those laws predict. If they don't

we are wrong and must try again.

You however just ignore inconvenient facts. You also decide that the whole

world is conspiring to deceive you and with no perceptible motive.

Does this sound like madness to you?
