It happens that the wider population has become so accustomed to the
belief that some special mathematical ability is required to understand the celestial arena ,terrestrial effects arising from planetary dynamics or some other area of science that they do not question it,almost that there are super humans who see things more clearly which others cannot see and are therefore set apart by their followers.It is a dismal sight to see ideologies of the celestial arena promoted as being beyond the reasoning capabilities of readers which is highly suggestive of intellectual superiority and while many would be quite happy to leave the promotion of astronomy in the hands of those who least support the methods and insights of this most ancient discipline,there would be others who would suffer from the inability to use their natural talent for spacial awareness to move things forward and provide better arrangements of causes and effects. An astronomer engaged in interpretative astronomy is not super human but probably more human as the depth of understanding involves acute sensibilities between the individual and Universal,the astronomer does not try to speak for the Universe but rather draws on personal experience to put causes and effects in context and if huge technical gaps appear then either leave it until some clue emerges or draw on a bit of speculation from what would be a proper use of experimental analogies.For instance,no experiment could reproduce the scale of the rotating viscous interior of the Earth so turning to other celestial rotating objects with exposed viscous compositions and then work the clues back into the Earth or the effects on the surface crust and reject assumptions which defy physical existence hence the replacement of 'convection cells' which a rotational driven differential rotation or what amounts to the same thing - an uneven rotational gradient between equator and poles. This is not a request to climb down from a lofty intellectual perch but that sometimes overreaching on issues such as the behavior of terrestrial objects and celestial objects in a combined view is not the way to go and to nobody's benefit.The use of analogies can still go on however it is the development of the interpretative faculties which are most needed today ,not only to shred the excesses of wayward conceptual agendas but to make astronomy a richer experience and again,this is what being more human means . |

Show us krazy kelleher's kinky kalendar instead of ****ing whining. Case in point,the ancients knew that they could not fix the annual cycle of the seasons to 365 days nor 366 days as they discovered that if they assumed the shortest day of the year happened after every 365 times they slept and woke,they would find the middle of winter coming later over the course of a lifetime,if they chose 366 days then much earlier so they instituted a system where they could rely on a close correspondence between the day and the annual cycle,which the Canopus decree is old there is no reason to believe that astronomers had known this for thousands of years before this - "..therefore it shall be, that the year of 360 days and the 5 days added to their end, so one day as feast of Benevolent Gods [the pharaoh and family] be from this day after every 4 years added to the 5 epagomenae before the New Year, whereby all men shall learn, that what was a little defective in the order as regards the seasons and the year, as also the opinions which are contained in the rules of the learned on the heavenly orbits, are now corrected and improved." Canopus decree http://www.reshafim.org.il/ad/egypt/...pus_decree.htm Thew reader doesn't require any special abilities other than to know what their own bodies tell them,if they can extract the rotation of the Earth from a daily temperature index they can then assume that there are 1461 rotations in 1461 days whereas those who wish to promote stellar circumpolar motion linked to daily rotation as you do are forced to believe an imbalance between rotations and days.If you dispute your 1465 rotations in 4 years you have plenty of individuals here willing to remind you just where you stand. Astronomy is not an experimental empirical cistern but a fountain for those who allow its geometric language in,there are no sour and dour individuals who will ever comprehend its methods and insights yet it allows for all the mistakes and misjudgments which accompany all individuals as they get older even those as great as the late 17th century mutations which tried to model the motions of the Earth using timekeeping averages.Again,the goodness of humans is that they feel as well as they know and if something makes a person feel uncomfortable ,at least in matters of some technical explanation,then more often than not there is a better explanation.So go ahead with swearing and carrying on,it is the sound of a person who has decided to diminish his own existence and while it is perfectly fine for a while (and I hope others excuse me for my own disgruntled period),it doesn't achieve anything other than make a racket,give a person a headache and so on.In short you become a nuisance and that is about it. |

Kelleher's "rendition" of the "Calendric Dunce" on the Irish fiddle, is a crime against harmony! Circumlocution is much too good for him! He should be hung by the balls as a Foucault pendulum until he recants!! |

Quit your wasting your time with your ****ing whining and PRODUCE THE KINKY KALENDAR, KRAZY KELLEHER! Let your empirical colleagues remind you why you follow an ideology which forces 1465 rotations into 4 years or what amounts to the same thing,the failure to comprehend that the Earth turns once a day and 1461 times in 1461 days.The people of this world have paid dearly for the subversion of the geometric language of astronomy and remove it from the hands of those who display the worst traits of human behavior and especially cowardice and silence. I represent my astronomical heritage and its people who are misrepresented by you and your empirical colleagues yet there is no climbdown involved for genuine empiricists,those who genuinely want to use this facet of science to work through difficulties where observations are impossible such as looking beneath the fractured crust of the Earth. It is time to write a new story,one where people look with pride and yes,even the 300 year old detour which tried too hard to make sense of planetary dynamics using timekeeping averages.The choice is not in the hands of the dour commentators and those looking for bellylaughs but on the decisive person and the innovators who live with the fire and light of human creativity and not the heat of reactions and dissent. |

Reasonable people who are familiar with these matters ,whether simple
or complex, cannot ear to remain with an unjust situation for any great length of time and in this respect I am surprised,although I have seen the subtle shifts away from the fictional histories needed to support contemporary ideologies,the real shift has yet to happen and hopefully it is in the direction of using contemporary imaging power and techniques to re-open the area that connects planetary dynamics with terrestrial sciences first and then on to more speculative arrangements for structural astronomy. Perhaps people could forgive my poor descriptions had they known how demanding external circumstances are but I suppose everyone today knows this in some shape or form.Despite the bad buzz at the moment there is a sense that investigators may eventually go for the immense satisfaction which connects terrestrial sciences with astronomy of our own planet rather than the contrived novelties which now appear under exoplanets while still valuing the other facets of astronomy such as photography, constellation hopping or anything that draws the individual to look into the celestial arena day or night. |

In respect to the true condition of men and especially Christians that
they cannot reasonably bear injustice for any great length of time,there is no better example than St Paul who actively tried to destroy early Christians yet became its greatest influence - "I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ. They only heard the report: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” And they praised God because of me" St Paul Of courser the word 'preach ' is loaded in today's language as meaning something of an arbitrary dictator of opinions whereas the intelligent language of St Paul it revolves around the core Christian life which makes people more human with a greater range of qualities regardless of social status. It may that there are men who once tried to destroy astronomy may end up being its greatest supporters by promoting what is good rather than focusing on the mistakes which were made. |
