The astronomical working principles which Newton used in applying his
ballistic agenda applied to planetary motion originated with Flamsteed rather than with the methods and principles of Kepler and Copernicus.In order to justify the relationship between terrestial longitudes and the return of a star in 23 hours 56 min 04 sec,Flamsteed forced the 3 min 56 sec difference into a .986 deg orbital displacement - http://www.pfm.howard.edu/astronomy/...S/AACHCIR0.JPG This calendrically driven ( 1461 day cycle) justification allowed Newton to propose the AU for mean Sun/Earth distances in order to refer planetary motion to the Sun and overlay the terrestial ballistics agenda on Keplerian orbital geometry.It sounds great and gives the correct answer for lengthening and shortening of orbital distances however,like a bell with a crack in it,it i does not sound right as it is impossible to reconcile the sidereal justification with an elliptical framework as a constant .986 deg displacement generates the ugly spectacle of the Earth travelling faster at the aphelion and slower at the perihelion. Standing further back from the technical geometric specifics it is possible to recognise that the astronomical working principles condition all ahead of it and Newton,while appearing to generate a successful resolution for Keplerian geometry, sowed the seeds for the contemporary situation of ad hoc resolutions for cosmological structures and motion that do not fit together at all.Newtonian working astronomical principles force the situation where the solar system's planetary motion was isolated from any other influencing factor such as the solar system's galactic orbital motion - "Cor. 2. And since these stars are liable to no sensible parallax from the annual motion of the earth, they can have no force, because of their immense distance, to produce any sensible effect in our system. Not to mention that the fixed stars, every where promiscuously dispersed in the heavens, by their contrary actions destroy their mutual actions, by Prop. LXX, Book I." Newton In itself,the 17th century attempt to explain Keplerian orbital geometry and motion was not a bad attempt and who can blame anyone for trying ,no less Newton.However,the working astronomical principles which he overlaid on Keplerian geometry had no basis or roots beyond Flamsteed and these now prove to be deficient and obstructive for 21st century observational data,not just in astronomy but in evolutionary geology and climatology as well. Favorable conditions have emerged through responsible people ,working against the difficulties imposed by theoretical considerations, forcing astronomical observations to the forefront and frame the problem in terms where they actually mirror in some way the Keplerian refinements of Copernican heliocentricity.The situation is so delicate that even I am reluctant to present anything other than an appeal to return to the original working principles which are creating so many conflicting yet interesting observations.The theoretical response will be to throw as much guesswork at explaining the observations as per usual,however those who would wish to see a more productive approach,have a chance to revisit Keplerian geometry with the influence of the solar system's galactic orbital motion on planetary heliocentric motion. The Copernican/Keplerian astronomical working principles of axial and orbital motion in isolation in contrast to the homogenised calendrically driven Flamsteed/Newtonian principles is at the roots of a specific resolution in order to work with structure and motion beyond the solar system.Without it,people will suffer a new version of phony 20th century pondering . |
