I think parallax is the problem but it doesn't seem that Roemer's Hypothesis, which should be "obvious" for us today, has anything to do with that problem.

Parallax is a conceptual dead end which forces the stellar background into the astronomical insights which rely on the planetary cycles of the solar system.It is extremely ineffective for 21st century data whereas the original Roemerian insight generates powerful productive avenues for application to the cosmos on the scale of galaxies.

Shut up you loon, you have no idea of astronomy past 1600... Hipparcos says you are talking ****. -- The greatest enemy of science is pseudoscience. Jaffa cakes. Sweet delicious orangey jaffa goodness, and an abject lesson why parroting information from the web will not teach you cosmology. Official emperor of sci.physics. Please pay no attention to my butt poking forward, it is expanding. Relf's Law? "Bull**** repeated to the limit of infinity asymptotically approaches the odour of roses." |
