The behavior towards known planetary facts is unconscionable and
surely somebody else must be feeling it acutely,after all,what could possibly be in anyway difficult is reasoning out cause and effect based on known rotational speeds and that daily rotation is the cause of the daylight/darkness cycle. This should not be acceptable for a single day let alone the 8 years since the error was pointed out,the error created by Flamsteed, for what could be worse than a deliberate indifference to something which has the same level of comprehension as wind has to wave heights,the slower the rotational speed at a given latitude away from the equator,the longer the twilight with 1037.5 miles per hour being the maximum equatorial speed. All the resentment directed towards me is not going to do anything to solve this crisis and if people assume that they have to go through Kepler in order to follow Newton then they are wrong,the point of departure is the basic rotation of the Earth and its effects,firstly the daylight/darkness cycle and then the spherical extension of twilight variations,something which is not possible to express using the Ra/Dec reasoning for daily rotation. The loss of planetary facts to a dominant group is extremely difficult to bear,not because people make a living out of throwing around associations with Newton,Einstein and so on but just people who have no financial stake in the matter and who genuinely want to be considered astronomers by virtue of a magnification exercise.What possible good can come out of being hostile to what is a simple and effect proof for a round and rotating Earth using known rotational speeds as proof for rotation once in 24 hours regardless of how inconvenient it may be for the prediction/modelling agendas,maybe individuals can ask that of themselves that question because I certainly cannot answer as to why this is happening in an era of supreme technological achievement Adults are not acting like adults and that may be the only conclusion I can draw from this forum,the attempt to be drawn into a usenet brawl has failed as it is only a matter of finding a more appropriate and responsible group who will discover just how far people are willing to go to be indifferent to basic planetary facts let alone the effects of planetary dynamics and insofar as empiricists have no compunction in mixing fiction with facts,the effects of these shortcuts have been catastrophic. Something has to give here and what that is I cannot imagine. |
