You have set oriel straight once and for all, and that's the last bit of nonsense we'll be seeing from him. Of course, I would never see his nonsense if he wasn't so successful at baiting people into trying to set him straight. To be perfectly honest, I can't see much difference between his nonsense and the railing of those who have made it their mission in life is to set him straight. -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm |

LOL. Dolt. If I wanted to read whatever that guy has to say he wouldn't be in my kill file. Seeing him a couple of times per annum in someone else's post is not quite the same as hanging on his every word. But you knew that, and I am allowing myself to be baited into replying to your troll.

Of course you need to actually love creation to be an astronomer beyond personalities and their quirks and that is why today kids can learn something about clocks and the planet's rotation because somebody took the time and effort to make sure it made it into wider circulation. Who cares if you read my posts or not,somebody else did - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDWHM00sZJc Any kid who learns that one rotation keeps in step with one 24 hour AM/ PM cycle will be streets ahead of you misinformed bunch. |

Astronomy is like composing or songwriting,you come to a topic and initially don't know how it turns out with almost unspoken rules guiding the information and a sense of what works and what doesn't. Ludicrous Astronomy is a science not a philosophy. Astronomy is many things,it even has a predictive side where you use the Earth's rotational cycles in a format of 3 years of 365 rotations and one year of 366 rotations,4 orbital circuits in total,to predict when events such as solar eclipses and transits will occur on a certain day and in a certain year.What you don't do is take this predictive convenience too far and especially not use the rotating celestial sphere as an anchor for the Earth's own dynamics. I can imagine a composer approaching music in much the same way,a theme or a sliver of information grows in different directions and develops in its own way and it is so easy today with so much visual data.The mathematics of Galileo is much less important these days in that geometrical representations of planetary motions and solar system structure can be seen directly with sequential imaging in a spectacular way - http://www.masil-astro-imaging.com/S...age%20flat.jpg I love that image and can easily imagine the Sun at the center. The laws of nature are not mam- made. However much you disagree with gravity you won't be able to float away. Ah,you are talking about Newton's agenda which has really nothing to do with astronomy and certainly nothing in common with Kepler's insight.Trying to make the Ra/Dec framework a background for double modeling and then pointing in the direction of the behavior of objects at a human and experimental level must look great to mathematicians but there is nothing good in this clockwork solar system notwithstanding that the followers of Newton never understood what he was doing themselves. A genuine mathematician would have no problem matching Kepler's representation up against modern imaging and then draw appropriate conclusions including the obstructions created by Newton and his followers.It isn't rocket science as anyone can work out that retrogrades are seen from a moving Earth and resolved by a moving Earth - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...retrograde.jpg http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap100613.html You have to accept the facts or you will remain imprisoned in your dream world. The majority of the forum and outsiders have come to understand that the Earth is round,rotating and the 24 hour AM/PM cycle in tandem with the Lat/Long system maintain these primary facts so the pretense of an alternative value has pretty much vanished apart from historical traces left on the internet.It is like looking at artifacts of the cold war,people were dead serious at the time but events have moved on and there are new things to look at. Who knows if it take inherent talent or is acquired through effort but people are supposed to immerse themselves after initial unfamiliarity and then get into the spirit of things which is why my Christian belief in the connection between the Universal/Infinite and the individual serves as a backdrop for moving information around. That connection is just a manifestation of your vanity. There is just the universe. You are a very small part of it. It doesn't know or care about you. There is no Father Christmas. The one bright spot over the years has been stellar evolution and as far as I can tell people generally love the connection between elements made in stars and elements which comprise their bodies hence a connection between the individual and the Universal and then the whole thing is ruined with novelistic junk of 'black hole' or what have you. You like to make yourselves bigger than the topic you are trying to understand and there is no two way traffic of information between the individual experience within the encompassing Universal experience and I suppose that is why you are so sour and don't seem to like anything,not even each other. |
