And given no other guides, what evidence is there for ugly math (and a universe centered on the Earth or my left pinky) instead of pretty math?mollishkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16056975190057844089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26036687.post-11899295693621135642007-04-24T06:44:00.000-04:002007-04-24T06:44:00.000-04:00The motion of the bodies in our solar system, and ...The motion of the bodies in our solar system, and indeed the entire universe, with respect to a stationary Earth is completely consistent with General Relativity.

One was how big is the Milky Way? One of the ideas was that it is a ring with a radius of about 10,000 light years with stars sparsely placed in the center, and we are in that center. The data supporting this idea was that with the day's best telescopes, you could resolve stars that far out, then you'd get the haze. Of course, you could use a smaller scope and get the same effect to a smaller radius. But that argument didn't see the light of day, at the time.<BR/><BR/>This book is available on Guttenberg.<BR/><BR/>http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/6630<BR/><BR/>While you likely won't learn much science, you can use it as an exercise to learn how to recognize truth, an more importantly, how to recognize nonsense.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03934169832326108710noreply@blogger.com
