nasa and Kepler

"On May 15, 1618 he discovered The Third Law:


The squares of the periodic times are to each other as the cubes of the
mean distances.

This law he published in 1619 in his Harmonices Mundi . It was this
law, not an apple, that lead Newton to his law of gravitation. Kepler
can truly be called the founder of celestial mechanics."

Kepler refered the motion of Mars from the orbital motion of the Earth
using the Panis Quadragesimalis or the motion of Mars including
apparent retrogrades from the point of view of a stationary Earth and
not mean Sun/Earth distances as Newton had it.

The Nasa website conveniently cuts Kepler off where it conflicts with
Newton,not because of anything malicious or deceitful but because the
Nasa people know no better.

"PH=C6NOMENON IV.
That the fixed stars being at rest, the periodic times of the five
primary planets, and (whether of the sun about the earth, or) of the
earth about the sun, are in the sesquiplicate proportion of their mean
distances from the sun.

"The proportion existing between the periodic times of any two planets
is exactly the sesquiplicate proportion of the mean distances of the
orbits, or as generally given,the squares of the periodic times are
proportional to the cubes of the mean distances." Kepler

What did Copernicus or Kepler do to deserve having their name attached
to a freakish Newtonian quasi-geocentric concept !.The engineers can
afford to ignore the difference but not those studying climate
imabalnces for although you get the stretching of mean Sun/Earth
distances,it is impossible to fit the sidereal format (Earth about
Sun/Sun about Earth) into an elliptical framework and still get
Keplerian motion.

What did the rest of humanity do to deserve a level of thinking that
highlights the worse traits of humanity through technical jargon that
reveals nothing and conceals a rich astronomical heritage.

I assure engineers that the incredible avenues which open up on the
back of restoring the original heliocentric principles outweighs the
tendecy to stick with a Newtonian system that caused grief from its
outset.
