Default A view of the tides in 1666

In a way the view of Wallace in respect to the empirical search of a cause for biological evolution morphed into Darwin's view and I have seen the former's view proposed as the latter via a shared perspective of the hapless Malthus. In a similar manner I saw the view of Wallis morph into Newton's ideological agenda of trying to fit astronomy into experimental sciences where it remains for the theorists and their followers.

Although that letter wasn't wrote for public consumption it does contain many issues which make for an enjoyable read but of course things went sideways after that with the emergence of an aggressive strain of empiricism which pointedly omitted any electromagnetic component in the relationship between celestial objects. Cutting off their nose to spite their face, the current batch of empirical followers are lost in a labyrinth of a making that is not their own .

The answer is simple - start from scratch but that would take admirable human traits like courage,intelligence and a spirited endeavor to open up the perceptual windows to the fresh air of contemporary imaging and data. These traits I haven't seen in this forum as a snapshot of the wider community so easier to just forge ahead on my own.

If I understand your cryptic hints, your Big Idea is that when the Earth is moving in one direction (relative to the Galaxy) it gets a boost from the Galaxy's electromagnetism and travels faster, and when it is moving the other way it meets resistance and travels more slowly.

This effect, rather than Newtonian gravity, is meant to explain the variable speeds of the planets in their orbits.

It would be great if you would explain this in more detail, as it sounds much funnier than your tedious dual rotations stuff.

However deficient the author was in terms of conjecture ,it is pleasing to see so many components on the table that can be reworked to create different narratives using contemporary imaging and data. Instead of building on an adventurous endeavor the whole thing got railroaded into a backward agenda that lacked any background notion of electromagnetism .

The author rightly points out that his contemporaries did not have an explanation for the variations in length of the natural noon cycle,although this cycle includes the appearance of the Sun followed by the stars, many people are distracted by the asymmetry between daylight and darkness when the variations involved are global and irrespective of hemispheres.

The tides are an incredible point of entry into the background conditions for planetary and solar system motion as they are most sensitive to the motions of the Earth in cyclical form . Supplemented by things such as the daily and polar day/night cycle, this unexplored research territory is waiting for those who have the courage and the wits to set aside the voodoo that has a stranglehold on astronomy even if it is now losing its grip.

This is an unmoderated forum with all its advantages and disadvantages including creepy singular attention that must be endured even with some discomfort.

Having proposed the combination of planetary orbital motion with the solar system's galactic orbital motion as an input into the variable orbital speed of the Earth as an indication of some electromagnetic background involved, it is possible to set this approach aside and work with something different. I had worked on these things on and off for years so nobody should put words in my mouth with false notions as the whole thing is left open for research anyway,again, the vagaries of an open forum leave proposals open for graffiti which thankfully most people don't engage in.

Geometry suffered greatly from the emergence of loose correlations ,some of which are absurd, in terms of the equational language introduced by empiricists , not just in terms of judgements of motion on a celestial scale but at a human level also.

What makes our planet special is the abundance of forms which display the geometric Phi proportion or the divine proportion as it is sometimes called and with good reason. It also extends to huge objects such as stellar efficiency and the attendant geometry of stellar evolution -

I had worked on the ring structure on a celestial scale long before it was surprisingly imaged in 1994 however the reasoning began in crystallography and the geometry of quasicrystals and its antecedent form as Penrose tiling..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Quasicrystal

http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/EMAT6680F...mbic_Tiles.jpg

The non periodicity of the tiling patterns balanced between order and chaos resonated with a hidden narrative so the intriguing form of 432° required an explanation other than a background for quasicrystal development and besides, 432° can't exist in 3 dimensions. It does however provide a foundation for the tendency of objects towards not only efficiency but also beauty that resonates with people who make the connection effortlessly as though what exists in multiplicity in 3 dimensions exists in unity in 432° form.

The ring structure came into the narrative as a necessity to account for 432° and ultimately into stellar evolution thereby keeping the whole thing as conceptually tight as possible insofar as the prime dimension which 432° represents is indescribable in its simplicity hence the designation of 'e pluribus unum' in the wikipedia comments.

The image of SN1987a would represent a geometric clue to an encompassing geometry that runs through the Universe at a large and small scale, in this case it is appealing to believe that not all supernova events end the lifetime of a star but rather the birth of a solar system as a star transitions from a large entity cooking up materials to a smaller entity with a range of planets and moons making up its new form.

There is so much to discuss and unfortunately this post will suffer the same graffiti as all the other topics have.
