I'm totally new to all this and therefore very inexperienced but I have to
say ,before I block you, you're a total cock "oriel36" wrote in message ups.com... To Jonathan Good to see that uk.sci.astronomy is behaving like a pure cataloguing chat room and no need to thank me for reducing Newton's ballistic theory to rubble,at least in its application to planetary motion. So,this year cataloguers discovered that there is an additional heliocentric conception known as Newtonian quasi-geocentricity * whereas there really was once only Ptolemaic geocentricity and Copernican heliocentricity. Ptolemaic geocentricity and Copernican heliocentricity share the common feature of keeping planetary motion clear of the stellar background - http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ima...2000_tezel.gif Newtonian quasi-geocentricity retains the stellar background which the Ptolemaics had already dropped for the Newton description for planetary motion seen from Earth and its resolution by jumping to the Sun does not even have the dignity of the Ptolemaic models - "For to the earth planetary motions appear sometimes direct, sometimes stationary, nay, and sometimes retrograde. But from the sun they are always seen direct.." http://members.tripod.com/~gravitee/phaenomena.htm This year you found yourselves closer to astrology and having none of the dignity of Ptolemaic astronomy or its dramatic evolution into the great Western heliocentric astronomy,only the homocentric relativist is lower in the scheme of things. Welcome to the 21st century. |
