Change through the National Geographic
The sudden disppearance of the conceptual concerns which dominated the
previous century owes more to fatigue on the part of humanity than it does with any genuine breakthrough,at least where celestial phenomena is concerned.The following excerpt from an article correctly identifies that the disingenuous but irritating habit of discovery/reversals is now diluting genuine achievements but more importantly exposing the unstable foundations on which the 'scientific method' is built.Who wants to listen to the 'mea culpa' of a mathematician with the National geographic and the Discovery Channel providing the gorgeous interweaving of life on the planet with the astronomical cycles which dictate the great ballet of life - "A third challenge to the survey plan is that science, for all its authoritativeness, appears to many Americans to be a realm of perpetual discovery and reversals. Despite the indication in Kull's poll that the public is highly susceptible to persuasion by scientific consensus, Americans also perceive science as a contentious enterprise in which the prevailing consensus has often been overturned -- often by heroic iconoclasts whose claim to fame is that they resisted conforming to what later became regarded as a laughably misguided consensus." http://gristmill.grist.org/story/2006/5/18/164914/239 The greatest advancement of the last century,in terms of astronomy,was the emergence of the 1905 concept for it ultimately exposed the Newtonian mutation of Copernican heliocentricity for what is always was.In this era where things are returning to a conceptual molten state,it would be wonderful to see the original astronomical blueprints of Copernicus,Kepler and Roemer resurface and even to modify them for 21st century purposes. Most certanly the old astronomical mechanism based on variable axial tilt to a hemispherical metereological reference (Summer/Winter) requires a complete overhaul and brought up to speed with global climate data.The mechansim for global climate norms is not a property of variable axial tilt but a mechansim derived from the Earth's orbital motion.One look at the Earth from space almost certainly should alter a person's view towards changing orbital orientation - http://geophysics.ou.edu/solid_earth...from_space.jpg It is not a killer equation or a theory of everything that moves people,it is wind,rain and the dramatic changes that are experienced through human activity and influences on a global level that is trickling down to variations in meteoroilogical patterns and events. |
