Go to sleep now with Newton watching over you or all those theorists
trying to sell you a parallel universe or something exotic.Yawn out you explanations to kids and tell them how great Isaac or Albert was and then put them to sleep into the same abstract universe which most people would call nightmares. Liked your sunset pictures - http://www.pyroport.com/astro/ Pity that is all you will ever see,sunrise/sunset. Astronomers can enjoy these images as another view of the Earth passing into and out of its orbital shadow but it has been so long since those people walked the planet,beaten by the brute mentality of cataloguers and mathematicians pretending to be astronomers. |

Sorry, but as a newbie to all this, could you please explain your argument concisely and completely ? (preferably without tints of tourettes). |

Sorry, but as a newbie to all this, could you please explain your argument concisely and completely ? Cataloguers screwed up by assigning an axial tilt component to the Equation of time which forces recognition of seasonal changes such as daylight/darkness asymmetry. http://www.sundials.co.uk/tbana.htm In the confusion many are incapable of seperating the idea that the total lenght of day from noon to noon changes rather than changes in the lenght of daylight/darkness,sunrise/sunset and the the Equation of time has nothing to do with any perceived motion of the Sun above or below the equator. You need a sundialist who can think in terms of the motion of the Earth and the Sun as a fixed reference rather than the motion of the Sun causing the change in a shadow across the dial. The error originated with John Flamsteed and was adopted by Newton and it is downhill ever since,at least in astronomical terms.If you imagine that these guys know what they are doing,I assure you they do not. Sorry. |
