Any astronomer who is paid a salary should be arrested for subversion on

that one.



Good to see Parker knows his audience and that a weak minded magnification

bunch who probably detest the idea of going outside to watch a spinning
moon

but will not move to protect astronomy nor make the effort to put

observations in context.

================================================== =============

You've won your arsehat award, Kelleher, no need to keep trying for it.

BTW, intellect should be anarchic, only a bullying thug and tyrannical

despot like you would try to impose an oligarchy on it. What's 7 x 9,

Kelleher?

Hint: it's between 61 and 65

Nobody has any regard for you, chump. What's seven times nine, Kelleher?
Hint: it uses the digits 3 and 6.

What about Androcles and the people who keep responding to him?

Kelleher denies the Truth we learned from Newton; Androcles denies the Truth
we learned from Einstein. Both are kooks.

Maybe they should be ignored, but silence is assent.

Dead wrong on the silence/assent thing. I have them both in my
kill-file and that in no way signals assent to their drivel. It amazes
me that these nutters' enablers can't see that they look just as stupid
as Kelleher and "Androcles."

Do any of you think a few unkind words are going to distract from the utter desolation visited on astronomy by a few middle class folk who imagine astronomy is a magnification and an identification exercise at night within a rotating celestial sphere framework.

These miserable times are coming to an end with the advent of people with real talent who can use imaging and witness astronomy in action during the day as well as the night,a true astronomy where telescopes and other human inventions are tools instead of the weapons in the hands of weak minded fools who are having a difficult time getting the next generation interested in their version of astronomy.

Go do something really useful Illig,lie on the ground and experience astronomy like a child instead of that observatory cage you have built for yourself as a testament to your celestial sphere horror.

Enablers indeed !,you really have nothing to say and I put you in that position.

Anyone who imagines that there is such a thing as a healthy community out there is badly mistaken,these magnification guys couldn't care less about astronomy pre-telescope and it shows in the fact that they can't manage to line up one 24 hour day and all the effects in that day with one rotation of the Earth -

"Wait, 23.93 hours? Isn’t a day 24 hours? Astronomers calculate a day in two ways. There’s the amount of time it takes for the Earth to complete one full rotation on its axis, compared to the background stars. Imagine you were looking down at the Earth from above the North Pole. You’d see the Earth turn once completely in 23 hours and 56 minutes. Astronomers call this a sidereal day.
And then there’s the time it takes for the Sun to return to the same spot in the sky. Since the Earth is orbiting the Sun, we actually need an extra 4 minutes each day to return the Sun to the same spot. Astronomers call this a solar day."

Not a single objection even though the references for the 24 hour AM/PM cycle and the Lat/Long system use the same references as the astronomers used for discerning the orbital changes in the positions of the planets.

Do any of you think

=================================================
Of course they don't, bigots never think. A scientist and mathematician
will always look stupid to a bigot, but that's far from being stupid. Pity
you are not a mathematician or scientist, Kelleher, you look stupid
because you are as stupid as Davoud who is proud of his willful ignorance.
He's been on my killfile for a year as you were for 8 years. The creep has
nothing to say about astronomy anyway, he only wants to boast about
his telescope.

There are certainly instances where silence would be passive assent; but
I have to agree with Davoud, that silence is not to be construed as
assent (in the context of what oriel posts here).

For those that worry that silence is assent - I wouldn't worry. Oriel
is a troll. It's his actions/conduct here, and not his posting about
his favorite topics, that make him a troll. In that context - silence
is not required of anyone, but it is not a bad option either.

My own profession (I'm retired) was far removed from astronomy; so many
of Quad's and palsing's early replies (stupid looking or not) were
instructive and beneficial to a noob - like me.
