Geometry in the sky
What do you think about this? www.solargeometry.com ?
Does it mach with your calculations? Beautiful geometry up there |

Say, do you fall for every scam out there? Do you also believe in Hoagland's numerology? Bye, Bjoern Let´s just say i have very good reasons to believe in this. Therefore i don´t believe you have investigated it yourself. Of course i can´t say it truts it 100% and that is why i asked. But closed mindedness and science does not match very well |

High school maths applied to pre-Kepler astronomy in various arbitrary ways. And a little number magick. That's science, innit? High school math? It´s just a question of finding the fastest road. There is just + and - Can you tell me what is wrong with the geometry and calculations on that website? I just ask because i have not researched that area myself. |

From the site:
The Earth - Mars Relationship Take the distances of Earth and Mars from the Sun in Earth-based Astronomical Units and you get nothing special: Planet Distance from the sun in km (000) Distance in AU per NASA Earth 149,600 1.00000 Mars 227,940 1.52366 Let the distance of Mercury again be 1 and you get an entirely different perspective: Planet Distance from the Sun in km (000) Distance where Mercury equals 1 Earth 149,600 2.5833 Earth¾ 2.0377 Mars 227,940 3.9361 Solar Geometry, using a ratio of 3.936458, reveals this intriguing relationship between the Sun, Earth and Mars Jupiter: Earth¾ * (½ ( Ö6 + Ö2 )) = Mars = 3.936458 |

If you saw a strange sign it was root 6 + root 2

This technique is called numerology and is based on the fact that you can take any random set of numbers and find "relationships" like these by picking powers to suit, or by trying different units. Add to that the fact that gravitational effects tend to synchronise orbits and these coincidences are bound to occur. Further, they are based on "Earth 149,600" which is the semi-major axis. What about eccentricity, aphelion, perihelion, inclination etc? The whole thing is naive and trivial. In fact it is obvious from the title that the author is just a religious nut using an old parlour trick to con the gullible. Nicely laid out site, but don't be fooled by appearances, you were wise to ask in the group, (gripe even if it is mostly politics and flame wars at the moment /gripe). George |
