Re: THALES eclipse vindicated/Neugebauer proved wrong!

The Ptolemaics were at least attempting to gauge epicycles out apparent
retrogrades which means they had already cut the motions of planets
loose from the stellar background -

They would have arranged the Sun betwen Venus and Mars by way of the
transits .

Ultimately epicycles are direct explanations for planetary motion based
on a stationary Earth and look like this -

Here is the Copernican resolution for retrogrades -

If the Ptolemaic resolution looks the same as the Copernican,the
difference is that the heliocentrists seen the orbital motion of the
Earth sharing a common heliocentric axis with the slower moving outer
planets.

Let me make this abundently clear -

The current attempt to remove the core principles for the axial
rotation of the Earth, the 24 hour day and subsequently the equable
hour,minute and second is the most incredibly stupid thing I have ever
come across.

Which one of you geniuses would like to figure out why Harrison had to
produce an Equation of Time table for a calendar year seperate to the
other years.If any of those highly paid dummies who are so intent in
trying to dislodge the association between clocks,terrestial longitudes
and astronomy ever woke up and figured out that the original core
principles cannot,i repeat cannot be invalidated due to the exquisite
mechanism between the pre-Copernican equable 24 hour day and the
heliocentric adaption using the Equation of Time as a common
denominator between the two.

If nobody is furious with what is going on,they certainly are no
astronomers for this involves not only the destruction of Western
Copernican heliocentricity but the clock/calendar system that,in
principle ,was refined through civilisation after civilisation from
remote antiquity.
