Outlines of a resolution

There are many currently writing about cosmological modeling via the
'scientific method' and while most naturally assume that this is an
extension of the original astronomical approach of known astronomers
(Copernicus,Kepler,Galileo ect),this view is entirely fictional and
bad for astronomy and for the wider population who must rely on
honesty in cellestial/terrestrial matters.

Far from being a complicated affair,the core of the problem is fairly
straightforward to point out and it exists not in some conceptual
backwater but in the main argument for heliocentricity as proposed by
Copernicus and understood in like form by Kepler who refined it and
Galileo who affirmed it using a telescope.

The approach Newton took was introducing a hypothetical approach to
the resolution of retrogrades by robbing the original insight of its
resolution by direct observation and the original statement by Newton
in introducing the empirical agenda is shocking by any standards -

"It is indeed a matter of great difficulty to discover, and
effectually to distinguish, the true motion of particular bodies from
the apparent; because the parts of that absolute space, in which those
motions are performed, do by no means come under the observation of
our senses. Yet the thing is not altogether desperate; for we have
some arguments to guide us, partly from the apparent motions, which
are the differences of the true motions; partly from the forces, which
are the causes and effects of the true motion. "

Modern imaging allows people the opportunity to see how our orbital
motion is derived from direct observation and particularly the
realisation that apparent retrograde motion is actually the Earth
overtaking the other planets in our and their common orbit around the
central Sun -

With no hypothetical observer on the Sun required or a hypothetical
'absolute' space needed to resolve the apparent retrograde motions,the
creation of empirical ' modeling' or the use of 'forces' to account
for phenomena is bordering on systematic fraud as it comes at the
expense of the great Western astronomical heritage -

"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

It may be that intellectual greed is every bit as insidious as
financial greed,even more so,as it exploits the trust which humanity
grants to investigators of terrestrial/celestial phenomena for no
other reason than to give the best answers to causes and effects.The
empiricist will not acknowledge the wrongdoing ,manipulation or
mistake by Newton even when observational data is presented to show
that there is a level of intellectual bankruptcy present that requires
just as much attention as any other human endeavor.
