English is your second language so that is to be expected -

So I'm not entitled to comment on that :-)

I stand corrected.


I am afraid that mob behavior doesn't entitle you to inspect the language of Newton and how he couched his agenda in language that his followers never understood. Trying to scale physics up to astrophysics as Newton attempted to do was such an overreaching thing so it was always going to have a limited shelf life regardless of the narrative that grew up around it.


Even if a new empirical icon shows up to replace Hawking, the story has become stale so the better option is to revisit the entire process by expanding astronomical history further back in time and approaching the actual problems of a Sun centered system that couldn't be resolved at the time of the Galileo affair.

I see people now manipulate imaging the same way they once manipulated language so people here have the power to prevent that from happening. Instead of the familiar 23 1/2 degree inclination, imaging is presented of the Earth presently with a zero degree inclination -

RIP astronomy.
