"oldcoot" wrote in message... ... From Painius, replying to 'BG': I was just asking you where you had heard or read that our Solar system experiences a wobbling cycle that has a period of 105 to 110 thousand years. I think he's referrin' to the presumed "oscillation" of the solar system's pathway above and below the galactic plane, *theorized also to trigger mass extinctions on a regular basis. Possibly, but that's only supposed to happen 2.7 times per galactic year (~225 - 250 million Earth years)... *http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun#Loc...hin_the_galaxy If one divides 225 by 2.7, it means that the Sun and Solar system oscillate above and below the galactic plane with a period of about 83.3 million years--much longer than Brad's period of 105 to 110 thousand years. So i think he's referring to the minor ice ages that have taken place during the Pleistocene period. *Apparently, he believes that close passages of Sol and Sirius may have caused these ice ages and deposited such things as the Moon and Venus in our Solar system. *Since he does not appear to understand orbital dynamics any better than i do, he doesn't accept the explanation given by a poster to sci.astro several weeks ago, to wit... The blue-shifted radial velocity between Sol and Sirius can be plugged into an orbital-dynamics formula, which shows without a doubt that Sirius cannot possibly be in any kind of orbital relationship with the Sun. Being a lover of math, i tend to go with this reality. YMMV I tend to favor whatever a good supercomputer simulation of stellar orbital interactions might suggest. Otherwise the 11,711 year old termination of the last ice age this planet Earth w/Selene will ever see, is objectively good to go. Since you have nothing better to offer, why should we ignore all other science, simply because it doesn't help your side of this argument? ~ BG |

OTOH, i am a little familiar with the rain cycles of Africa, which correspond to the ice ages. And while these cycles do indicate that an ice age might be very long in coming, there will probably be another some day perhaps 500 thousand to a million years from now. And unfortunately for the many African peoples around the Sahara, we can look to see that desert continuing to march southward, expanding into what are now very green areas. And as far as ignoring science, that's the last thing i would ever suggest for anyone to do, you putz. g happy days and... starry starry nights! -- Indelibly yours, Paine Ellsworth P.S.: "Convinced myself, I seek not to convince."

Oh, yeah? BULL****? Okay, how many people besides you
helped Helmut Abt win the very first prestigious GVB prize to be awarded by the American Astronomical Society in 1997? And what about 9423 Abt? a minor planet named for your boss? Was that his honor alone? or did other people help him along the way so he could be so honored? What? Saul? Weren't you a member of Abt's "team"??? Did Ralph Elmer Wilson compile that General Catalogue of Stellar Radial Velocities star catalog all by his lonesome? or did he reference the Catalog of Individual Radial Velocities published in the Astrophysical Journal Supplement 26, December 1973, by none other than Helmut A. Abt of the Mount Wilson Observatory? You can resist all you like, Saul. Astronomy is teamwork, and the great ones almost always have lots of help while they become great. And the greatest ones, the ones who are long-remembered, share the credit with each and every member on their team, ....don't they?

Double A & Paine Team work works so well,and astronomers like to work
in teams. Many telescopes were focus on Jupiter as for the first time a comet was shown hitting a planet. Double A now that we can use radar to measure distance so very accurately I wonder what the distance is from Earth to Sun? Could it be down to feet? TreBert |

Galileo certainly had his followers who helped him whenever
they could. One that comes to mind, one of his many disciples, Mario Guiducci, helped Galileo with a controversial work titled _Discourse on the Comets_. No man is a complete island unto himself. (After rereading that last sentence, i find myself thinking that i ought to practice what i preach! g) "Saul Levy" wrote in message... ... You read that biography I posted, Paine? Did you find MY NAME in it? No, you didn't. Helmut is a wonderful astronomer and a very nice person. He would have been famous even if he NEVER had anyone helping him. You're blowing the "team" thing way out of proportion. Did Galileo have a "team?" One thing about awards is that EVERYONE of any note at all will eventually get some award(s). Astronomy is no different in this than any other science. I noted a long time ago that THERE ARE TOO MANY AWARDS which dilutes their value. I find the number of awards DISGUSTING!

Why so gosh darn long away, as according to those ice core samples, we should have been dropping into our next ice age cycle as is? btw, our sun is not going to cool down for quite some time, so don't count your lucky stars on that one for accommodating our next ice age.

Astronomy proves this to me every day TreBert Of course, the flip-side to that idea for a scientist is that it tends to deplete the individual responsibility one still must possess for whatever idea or ideas that one comes up with based upon "standing on the shoulders" of past great scientists. Case in point would be the goings-on with the LHC and the loud public outcry against it. The good scientist must publish a readable, understandable explanation that alleviates the worries of the mob. For this to go undone, or to be done incompetently, is a travesty to science and a blight on the good names and shoulders upon which today's physicists stand. All i've seen so far from science is trash that makes the mob feel like idiots, and it just ****es lay-people off and makes them even more apprehensive about the LHC. Simply saying, "There is no way anything bad will happen when the LHC is fired up," just ain't gonna hack it with the mob. People want BELIEVABLE ASSURANCE, and i have yet to see this being done, or even attempted. happy days and... starry starry nights! -- Indelibly yours, Paine Ellsworth P.S.: "Convinced myself, I seek not to convince."
