Clarity of an astronomical distinction
The great Western astronomical insights are founded on the correct way
to approach and resolve the observed behavior of the other planets,Copernicus accomplished this by infering an orbital motion between Venus and Mars leaving axial rotation to explain the daily cycle.The affirmation of this was the emergence of the correlation which keep clocks in sync witn axial rotation at 15 degrees per hour making 24 hours in total.The complimentary and secondary affirmation of Copernican heliocentric reasoning is thereby affirmed via the principles found in the determination of geographical position via terrestrial longitudes - 'How by Observing the Rising and Setting of the Sun, and the Time by the Watches, the Longitude at Sea may be found.' " This way doth neither require the Knowledge of the Hight of the Pole, nor of the Declination of the Sun, nor the Use of any Astronomical Instruments: Neither can the Refraction of the Sun or Stars cause any considerable Error, the refraction of the Morning differing but little or nothing from that of the Evening of one and the same day, especially at Sea. Thus then you are to proceed; At the Rising and Setting of the Sun, when it is half above the Horison, marke the time of the day, which the Watches then shew; and though you have in the mean time sayl'd on, it is not considerable. Then reckon by the Watches, what time is elaps'd between them, and add the half thereof to the time of the Rising, and you shall have the time by the Watches, when the Sun was at South; to which is to be added the Aequation of the present day by the Table. And if this together makes 12. hours, then was the ship at Noon under the same Meridian, where the Watches were set with the Sun. But if the summe be more than 12, then was she at Noon under a more Westerly Meridian: and if less, then under a more Easterly; and that by as many times 15. degrees, as that Summe exceeds or comes short hours of 12: as the Calculation thereof hath been already deliver'd." Huygens http://www.xs4all.nl/~adcs/Huygens/06/kort-E.html There exists no responsible astronomical authority,at least presently,to deal with the awful mutations that occured in the late 17th century which destroys the two main Western astronomical insights.Flamsteed's false correlation centering on the 23 hour 56 minute 04 second value allied with the false approach to and resolution of the observed behavior of the planets by Newton represent the greatest individual astronomical mistakes with the effect of generating conter-productive concepts. Western civilisation through its promottion of false achievements is rotting from the inside with no responsible or courageous individuals willing to stop the rot.The obvious dichotomy between the correct set of principles where the 24 hour/360 degree correlation affirms Copernican reasoning while the 23 hour 56 minute 04 second/360 degree value represents a rejection of Copernican reasoning is the clearest possible way to frame the situation whether men choose to deal with it or not. |
