The Broken Chain

Neither Copernicus,Kepler * nor any of the early heliocentrists would
ever consider charging Ptolemy with fraud,they simply reworked the
physical considerations of his conclusions into an orbitally moving
Earth


This is the story of a scientific crime. ... I mean a crime committed
by a scientist against fellow scientists and scholars, a betrayal of
the ethics and integrity of his profession that has forever deprived
mankind of fundamental information about an important area of astronomy

and history. ....[Ptolemy] developed certain astronomical theories and
discovered that they were not consistent with observation. Instead of
abandoning the theories, he deliberately fabricated observations from
the theories so that he could claim that the observations prove the
validity of his theories. In every scientific or scholarly setting
known, this practice is called fraud, and it is a crime against science

and scholarship. " Newton

There was no crime or fraud beyond what this diseased man perpetrated
against astronomy and the methods and insights of Copernicus,Kepler and
Roemer.

No atrocity is ever possible without the mediocre middle,even those who
profess a casual astrophotographic endeavor as amounting to the sum
total of astronomical knowledge are participating in the fraud,probably
best known through the RA/Dec calendrically driven clockwork system.

There is no dignity,honor in what you do just like your 17th century
master.Knowing how to accuse has always been the tactic of the cunning
and the unoriginal,that Ptolemy's conclusions were superseded by
Copernicus through physical considerations,at least Ptolemy did not tie
planetary motion to the stellar background in drawing his geocentric
conclusions.

You have disgraced yourselves and continue to do so before my
astronomical heritage for a peevish 17th century tyrannt when the
great riches of astronomy are before you stretching into the future and
back to those real astronomers who had their works mutilated.
