A real American hero died today....
http://news.yahoo.com/neil-armstrong...193954975.html I find it some how fitting that I was watching Star Trek when I heard of his passing... RIP Neil. TMT |

TMT He was the first person who could stand on the surface and look back on our own planet - a remarkable engineering achievement as an individual and a group of people. Of course the achievement became an excuse for theorists to pursue and dump conceptual junk into the celestial arena hence human exploration has faded into memory with the hope it once brought and replaced by a mindset not unlike the Chinese cultural revolution where there is mass support for human control over the planet's temperature. That man could look out at the Earth from a non rotating moon and that says more about present astronomy minus the engineering achievements considering that theorists still insist the moon spins.The dissolution of the engineering achievement to where it is now is due to the lack of depth of astronomical understanding into which that achievement emerged. I do not fault another American called Armstrong for taking shortcuts in gaining recognition through a sport,after all,winning and achievement is everything in the imagination of the wider population and that is exactly where astronomers here put themselves in context of Armstrong,his era and their can-do spirit in engineering. People do feel cheated with Lance Armstrong but he made amends by coming clean and giving those who follow him a chance to be credited with genuine human effort and endeavor.The same is offered to all here who genuinely treasure the Apollo adventure and the real work and effort involved,not the miserable narrow minded and spiritless novelties that pass today as astronomy but real achievement - even if it is taking steps to undo severe damage to the most encompassing and noble of all sciences. |

LOL a non rotating moon.....to be non rotating, tidally locked, and revolving around the earth is, well, impossible. I know this is hard for you but.....think A spinning moon means variations in latitudinal speeds and the moon doesn't spin - walk around an object with an outstretched arm pointing at the central object and that is what we see and what Armstrong would have seen from the moon. You suffer from a disorder,when faced with the impossibility of a spinning moon you immediately imagine it in your head even though only one person (Newton) ever proposed it in a throwaway paragraph after he has Venus turning once in 23 hours and the Earth to the circumpolar stars in 24 hours.The disorder is not seeing how shockingly silly the previous paragraph is but then imagining the moon spins as it makes a lunar circuit of the Earth. http://books.google.ie/books?id=gB2-...page&q&f=false The engineering achievement of landing a man on the moon is in stark contrast to those who suffer the disorder of believing a spinning moon.If the Earth rotated once we would see all sides once in a lunar orbit,if it spun twice in a lunar circuit we would see all sides twice,if it spun through a 1/2 rotation for each circuit we would see all sides once over two circuits - this is the thinking of a reasonable person. The moon is fascinating in its orbit as its orbital characteristics are the opposite to the Earth which does turn once,as a component of its orbital behavior,to the central Sun - all planets do http://www.daviddarling.info/images/...gs_changes.jpg I can look at a planet turn to the central Sun and provide the imitation analogies to support it but none of you can see how the polar coordinates turn in a circle to the Sun,of course you are the same people who believe they can see a spinning moon despite any appeal to common sense - a trait that lands men on the moon and accompanies all genuine achievements. Think indeed ! ,how I wish people would for a change. |

That is called orbital motion and I am not about to descend to a point where I have to explain the difference between a spinning Earth and an orbiting Earth in order to distinguish it from a lunar orbit without a separate rotation I can explain that the orbital behavior of the moon as it orbits the Earth is entirely different than the orbital behavior of the Earth around the Sun using a broom handle fixed to an external point and that is where your point can come into good use.I have often wondered why something so simple as an imitation analogy which uses a broom handle to substitute for constant axial alignment as the planet orbits the Sun is ignored,after all it takes only a few minutes to figure out the relevant detail - there are two axes of motion involved and more importantly,the quasi-rotation to the central Sun is backed up by definitive images as the polar coordinates turn through the circle of illumination - http://www.daviddarling.info/images/...gs_changes.jpg The line of a person's body as they walk/orbit a central object while keeping a broom handle fixed in orientation to an external point represents the ecliptic axis and that is why the images of Uranus are so valuable as Uranus turns in its daily motion from South to North while it also turns to the Sun from East to West as a component of its orbital motion. The simple fact that the moon goes through phases indicates that it certainly rotates with respect to the sun... what other explanation could there be? Just who is suffering from a disorder here? http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...7607292533_241... Dear,oh dear,for some reason there is a personality cult going on here and I don't operate at that level.The thing about somebody as loved as Armstrong and a theorist spouting nonsense that exists only in his head more than explains why human space flight is not a common experience as the world is expected to be impressed theoretical junk instead of real adventure - even the engineering feat of landing the unmanned spacecraft recently made up for many years of theoretical junk which can no longer hold the interest of the wider population. The students facing teachers and professors in the coming weeks will look at people who are dead in their heads,people who have retained only enough information to inflict damage on the student's ability to interpret the the motions of planets and the moon for no other reason than there is no movement to stop this disorder,it is a disorder by virtue that unfamiliarity can no longer be used as an excuse. When you walk/orbit a central object you will notice that your walking behavior changes in representing the moon as opposed to the orbital/ walking behavior for the Earth as walking around the object with an outstretched arm representing an imitation of lunar orbital behavior is easy and straightforward while imitating the Earth's behavior is not. |

Great engineering feats of which Armstrong was a part of do not equate into talent in astronomical affairs. |

Not true at all. The only difference lies in the details; representing the Earth, you would need to spin 365.25 times per trip around the central object, whereas representing the moon you would need to turn but once.

No, these motions are not different at all, they are allmost exactly the same. The greatest discovery I made within the last few months is that empiricism is a form of welfare having visited a conference to see what these guys get up to hence I don't look for people for whom cowardice doesn't even enter the discussion insofar as you need to know what courage is first before acting in a cowardly way.More like overgrown schoolboys who accept their grades as an achievement and make a living regurgitating falsehoods without actually thinking through the topics.No human being could stand before students and talk of a spinning moon as it orbits the Earth but you can,not you personally but those whom you represent speak of a spinning moon as though it is something normal instead of the symptoms of a disorder - https://groups.google.com/group/sci....dec8ccd?hl=en# I am certain that this dysfunction will continue in certain countries but others will adapt to stable perspectives as the empirical dominated education system will certainly dull the ability of students to act and think properly in later life or turn them into commercial cannon fodder,the idea of human temperature control of the planet being a case in point where people are easily manipulated by a group who can't tell you why the temperatures go up and down daily.

Other than that... identical \Paul A The great turning of Uranus to the central Sun apart from its South to North daily rotation sounds out its warning to your kind that you no longer have a free reign with the noble astronomical heritage and the stature of people who once give the world so much until it fell into the wrong hands. http://www.daviddarling.info/images/...gs_changes.jpg The real heroes in future are those who can raise themselves above the river of vitriol that flows through this forum and come to understand that these things are important and far more important than the engineering achievement of landing men on the moon.The student starting back at school in the Northern hemisphere do so as a reflection of the closing out of the period when the Northern polar coordinate turns towards the circle of illumination and away from the central Sun thereby causing the shift in latitudinal temperatures towards the cooler temperatures needed for study. The spinning moon indeed !,it must be an empirical test to force yourselves to believe anything and everything coming from the guys in the late 17th century but this is my era and by God I will not stand by and suffer dullards from influencing the next generation of students.The fact that the only person to promote a spinning moon did so after asserting that Venus turns in 23 hours is enough for any man of stature and dignity but those are two traits that I have rarely seen in this forum. |
