I understand where you are coming from but why dump astronomical data in the direction of theorists who have made a career out of turning that data into sci-fi.Lately,humanity does not care to listen to novelty for you can only try to shock people for so long before they tire of it and many people do care enough about their home planet to try and make astronomy and geology mesh into a single picture. Assuming that you are a decent individual with a little concern for what direction the data takes, even if you are indifferent,surely you would not consider the use of astronomical terms and methods to support a 1898 fictional novel that was passed off in 1905 as a revolution in understanding space,time and motion. http://www.bartleby.com/1000/1.html You probably assume that Well's literary device to support fictional time travel is a quaint bending to suit his sci-fi purposes but he makes no pretenses to making the reader believe that it is anything other than fiction yet Albert does - http://www.bartleby.com/173/17.html As much as I have to say in condemnation there is far more to do with meshing life on the planet with astronomy and geology and both with each other .Anyone and I mean anyone can enjoy the usefullness of the astronomical observation of differential rotation seen on the Sun and other planets and then apply it to the Earth's fluid layer beneath the crustal segments as a means to explain the Equatorial bulge and subsequently the affects on component plates. http://www.astronomynotes.com/starsun/sun-rotation.gif This is just one productive example of what astronomical data can do and emerges out of an accurate account of the Earth's rotation and the satifaction from not trying to bluff and bluster and being sincere where others are not. The other option is to continue to make astronomy remote from other disciplines such as geology and remote from humanity by fostering the development of mathematicval celebrity rather than the material itself for many have heard of Newton and Albert without knowing what they did,the former began astronomical framehopping and the latter expanded it to homocentricity where there is nowhere left to go. I am a Christian and cannot tolerate insincerity and fear nothing but mediocrity however the empirical tinsel that wraps asdtronomical terms into novelistic concepts and presents them to humanity as an achievement is one of the cruellest things imaginable,not just for the sake of our ancestors but for future generations who will be denied appreciation of the Copernican/Keplerian heliocentricity but also the ability to step up to the motion of the solar system about the even greater axis of Milky Way motion,something you cannot do with constellations and a celestial sphere. I will say nothing of an isolation among contemporaries that can be difficult to bear as a working ground for so many avenues even if it is simple to bypass Newtonian empiricism to get back to Roemer's insight but as all major institutions prop up Newton's cartoon astronomical perspective it is unfortunately clear that an individual has to struggle unecessarily to come to a more accurate picture of planetary motion and I don't know many who are willingly to go through the ordeal.It is worth it but then again even if successes are private they often appear as public failures. |

Again,I am content to leave you believing that you are astronomers while you continue to support the astronomical basis for a 1898 fictional work by H.G. Wells.Nobody has spoken against the Newtonian basis of this exotic nonsense which in turn is based on a simple error arising from the cataloguer Flamsteed "'Now, it is very remarkable that this is so extensively overlooked,' continued the Time Traveller, with a slight accession of cheerfulness. 'Really this is what is meant by the Fourth Dimension, though some people who talk about the Fourth Dimension do not know they mean it. It is only another way of looking at Time. There is no difference between time and any of the three dimensions of space except that our consciousness moves along it. But some foolish people have got hold of the wrong side of that idea. You have all heard what they have to say about this Fourth Dimension?'" http://www.bartleby.com/1000/1.html Are you serious ?. |

You are indeed an elite bunch of people,you are so elite and isolated that you can now be identified using one known fact and how you get it wrong - http://hypertextbook.com/facts/1999/JennyChen.shtml How does it feel to find yourself on a level worse than creationism ?. |

Does your mother know you are playing on the computer? If so, then it is clearly obvious that you have the same mental issues as that as escaped lunatic Min. I suggest you look for someone in your neighborhood that might consider subjecting you to shock treatment. I image your neighbors would be lining up to do so. This of course assumes you can find a pair of pants and a shirt. Just because you sit in front of your computer in your underwear doesn't mean you should go outside that way. Ta ta |
