In it's simplest form with all constants removed, sheet 1 is supposed to
be a circle. Wilson computes half-way round and mirrors the other half,
which I have duplicated.

Some of Wilson's actual code has been converted to spreadsheet form
and is shown on sheet 2. Naturally I'm not about to create a 100,000
element array on a spreadsheet, but the part of the curve shown speaks
for itself. Feel free to modify the initial values in the yellow boxes.

Wilson seems to be under the illusion that he can generate an ellipse
solely from Newtonian Mechanical extrapolation but Newtonian
Mechanics also allows for precession, which is what we have.

Wilson is clearly quite insane if he thinks that is "far superior"
to http://www.androcles01.pwp.blueyonde...rbit/Orbit.xls
which uses Kepler's equation.

Perhaps some kind soul will explain his error to the poor boy (or put
him in a straight jacket where he belongs).

You are already threatened with one defamation case, why try to get yourself
another?
Your professional jealousy will get you into a lot of trouble before you're
much older.
Accept it, your variable star program is **** compared with mine.
