Default 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?

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

What science?


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

So, some random mathematical operations yield some meaningless result.
Interesting.

Since the ratios are the same, how can choosing
different units make a difference? 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).
