How dismal to see contemporaries put man at the center of the Universe
representing even an intellectual descent from geocentricity ,despite
appearances,the reasoning for this no center/no circumference ideology
is based on stellar circumpolar motion and its attendant homocentric
view,they knew about this prior to the advent of the Earth's planetary
dynamics and especially the great archbishop of Cusa who saw the
difficulties inherent in taking that view -

"And wherever anyone would be, he would believe himself to be at the
center.Therefore, merge these different imaginative pictures so that
the center is the zenith and vice versa. Thereupon you will see--
through the intellect..that the world and its motion and shape cannot
be apprehended. For [the Universe] will appear as a wheel in a wheel
and a sphere in a sphere-- having its center and circumference
nowhere. . . " Nicolas of Cusa

Congratulations guys !,You have a guy at the center of the universe
who believes he can control global temperatures all the way out to the
stratosphere so if anyone can think of anything worse to add,other
than time travel,then feel free as the intellectual descent is more or
less complete.

I couldn't agree more, St.Copy and Paste Girl.

Or is this your alter ego, Brenda Guff?

Your posting styles are now so similar that you must be joined at the
hip.

A few years ago in a forum that is intensely dedicated into the no
center/no circumference ideology of 'big bang',a lone creationist
entered and inquired about the observation of a faraway galaxy and got
the usual treatment about every-valid-point-is-the-center or 'no
center' thingy.He then concluded in his own innocent way that if the
oldest galaxy was 13 billion light years away then the Universe must
have a 26 billion light year diameter !,well the guys went
intellectually apoplectic after this revelation but I just got a kick
out of it.

I see you try to correlate time with distance by direct observation by
using 'lightspeed' but the original idea by Ole Roemer,even though I
have many reservations about the orginal procedure using orbital
comparisons between Jupiter and Earth represent an astronomical
adjustment known as the 'Equation of Light' reflecting position
displacements when objects move over a distance of 186 000 miles apart
from each other,something quite different than the utter vomit
inducing idea that a person occupies the present and everything they
see is in their past.Who wants to consider such things when we have so
much imaging power on Earth and in the space to work on visual
correlations with effects in climate,geology,biology and a myriad of
different topics.

I do not mind people pursuing the 'big bang'ideology as it is,after
all,a logical conclusion of an Ra/Dec framework,but I do mind that it
is expressed openly as an achievement.If the guys in the other 'big
bang' thread want a galaxy at a maximum 13 billion light year distance
they are automatically forcing a conclusion that the Universe has a 26
billion light year diameter.























the universe must be 26 billion
