Default Revisiting the Pope/Galileo affair.

Despite the present belief in circulation that a person would be burned at the stake for proposing the Earth goes around the Sun as a theological necessity there are a few people who are familiar with the thorny issue as it actually existed and unfortunately,at least presently, nobody cares how to untangle the technical details and resolve the issue once and for all.

Some of the commentaries are quite accurate but they are,after all, commentaries and not innovations needed to resolve the difference between predictive astronomy and interpretative astronomy -

https://books.google.ie/books?id=Z7x...ge&q&f=fa lse

The resolution has been mentioned in the other thread where the parent observation contained in the leap day rotation goes into two separate directions. For research and proof of the Earth's daily and annual motions the parent 1461 rotations within the confines of 4 orbital circuits reduces to 365 1/4 rotations per orbital circuit whereas for predictive astronomy within the calendar framework, the 365/366 rotation format is used.

Nothing can be done with people who force themselves to believe the Earth turns 1465 times within 4 orbital circuits as it serves neither predictive astronomy nor interpretative astronomy. The high end welfare scam using voodoo and bluff may entertain those who have completely forgotten planetary dynamics and congratulate themselves with the accuracy modern timekeeping devices but they care nothing for both the technical and historical details create the anchor for dynamics and timekeeping using 4 orbital circuits of the Earth and daily rotation as a gauge.

Save it for your prayers, monk.

The good news is that the 'leap second' correction is valid within the 365/366 timekeeping framework as a subset of the anchor observation of 1461 days in 4 years and its dynamical equivalent of 1461 rotations within 4 orbital circuits.

The entire community may wish to fool itself into believing that timekeeping is defined by daily rotation but the system is founded on the leap day rotation through a series of observations involving a line-of-sight observation of Sirius and its first seasonal appearance to define the Earth's position in space.

How wonderful to keep the historical company of people of influence such as the Pope and Galileo rather than the tepid academics of today who have diluted the issues into a meaningless perspective by their own volition. Should genuine researchers choose to act in a truly meaningful way then nobody will be as pleased as I am.
