Astronomy

When are we going to start talking about astronomy again? There is enough
of this type of chat else where on the net.

I didn't realise there was a problem. You need to kill filter some
posters.

Most of the posts her rely on magnification as the whole purpose of
astronomy but if that were so,the magnification of a microscope would
have equal status to astronomy.

Copernicus and Kepler arrived at their working principles for the
motions of the planets,and particularly our own ,without the aid of
magnification.Exquisite intuitive intelligence and an able intellect to
frame what the eye sees based on physical considerations.

It is not that you are about to start talking about astronomy again,it
is that you never talked about it in the first place.

Copernicus determined that planetary orbital motions are seen directly
from an orbitally moving Earth -

Newton disrupted the greatest Western astronomical insight by adopting
a careless and damaging view-

"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

If you want to talk astronomy then go ahead and correct that dismal
Newtonian mutation to Copernican reasoning concerning plotted
retrogrades

That would be ~80% of postings then! My enthusiasm for this forum has definitely waned and it will only get worse. It needs moderating. Shame really but that's human nature.

And file an abuse report. It should be possible to work out where trolls
are posting from, despite their fake addresses. Is
correct for the current offender?

It's worth kill filing all cross posted messages. You can always make
exceptions.
