Actual motions vs apparent/true motions
The hapless empiricist is stuck with an ideology they never really understood but have the dubious capacity to believe it anyway -
"It is indeed a matter of great difficulty to discover, and effectually to distinguish, the true motion of particular bodies from the apparent; because the parts of that absolute space, in which those motions are performed, do by no means come under the observation of our senses. Yet the thing is not altogether desperate; for we have some arguments to guide us, partly from the apparent motions, which are the differences of the true motions;" Newton Dear oh dear,the whole premise of absolute/relative motion and space was founded on an utterly silly idea about observed motions which tried to account for a Sun centered system by assigning a view seen from Earth as opposed to a hypothetical view from the Sun - "For to the earth planetary motions appear sometimes direct, sometimes stationary, nay, and sometimes retrograde. But from the sun they are always seen direct,..." Newton I am not complaining about those who suffered a poor education or an indoctrination but from a moving Earth we see the planets run their circuits around the Sun in two different ways depending on whether it is the inner planets or the outer planets. Kids will love it when described using the racetrack analogies - https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-T...015%2Beng..jpg https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap160915.html Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so appreciation tells you all about yourselves and if you have the capacity to enjoy the motions you all participate in. |
