No standard
Astronomers you ain't,that much is certain.Even if you hijack the title
and others do not notice you are little more than cataloguers. An astronomer has the final say on what works and what does'nt,the very fact is that my astronomical heritage is in the hands of a bunch of mathematical freaks who could'nt make an observation to save their lives let alone distinguish between perceived motions from Earth and actual motions. Powerful telescopes supply more data but they are worthless in the hands of theorists and it has been that way for centuries.Passing on Newton's empirical illness to future generations assures that astronomy will eventually die in all but name for the theorists have left you nothing left to observe. Good enough for people who have no standards , no sense of the scale and majesty of the cosmos and no way to pass that on to future generations. |
