I then stated that if the observer is in a radial orientation to the common point then you agreed, you said "its a rotation it is that simple"..Your gross error in your overall explanation here with the earth attempts to do the same thing that you did there with diagram #11. You ignore the fact that the sphere the observer is on is spinning. You opted for a bead on a wire, which cannot spin in relation to the common point in question. This is the selective view you attempt ot argue from. You ignore, that in the case of the earth, however, the bead is spinning and that affects the oreintaion and relationship of the observer in relation to both axis or common points. The observer located on the sphere (earth) can and will achieve a radial orientation to both common points, ( ecliptic axis & celestial ) both axis simultaneously because the path used to get there is irrelevant. The diagrams and any complete model you put forward have clearly shown/proven this to be the case. This was your first mistake.. What are those numbers referring to?the name of the relevant attached Diagrams > Simply having one does not prevent the other. > As a matter of fact - if you want both axes to keep their orientation in space - the celestial axis always pointing to (approximately) the North Star, and the ecliptic axis always being perpendicular to the ecliptic They do by defintion - particulaly since the earth translates then the orentaion of the two axis can nver change wrt each other. I have already proven this fact ans howin it in diagrams. your diagrams dont prove anything except they are incomplete and are looking at the problem from the wrong perspective...yes there is more then one, and you are looking at all the wrong things. then you simply CANNOT have ROTATION around BOTH axes. In the corrected Fig.3: I did that shows the celestial axis in a progressive radial oreintaion to the ecliptic......new ...figure 15-4 //www.freelists.org/archives/geocentrism/11-2007/gif2i1Q7CRrw2.gif I have shown you exactly what it would look like with ROTATION around both axes. This is where you are getting confused with your own explanations!....There is a fundamental difference between rotation of the axis around each other and an observer in rotation around both axis. You do not have to have both axis in progressive radial orientation to each other in order for an observer to be in a progressive radial ordination to both. The reason this is true is becuse of the other motion you ignore and dont address. That was the point of my diagram #11 the path of travel is irrelevant to a rotational effect only progressive radial orientations to some common point regardless of the path. The key to understanding this is the fact that the earth spins not just translates. in fact it translates to the ecliptic plane as well. That is the fundamental flaw in your explanations and diagrams. you are in effect arguing that rotation of the axis around each other is one and the same thing as an observer in progressive radial orientation around both axis simultaneously. 1.Yes a observer can be in progressive radial oreintaion to both just as in the case of a orbital sander ecah particle is in rotation around both axis. The radial condtion would be isolated for both if each partical on the orbital sander was also spinning . Together, the combinations of the two rotational motions casue a distict motion. ( a circular motion with a orbitla motion supperimopsoded on it. You keep saying it is not posible. You are wrong and it is demonstratable. Your arguments are confusing the significance and relevance of the motion of the axis themsevles with the motions of an observer to thoes axis. Those two things are not one and the same. You not mee keep addresing the motions of the axis..!? The axis don't move except for the celestial translates the ecliptic. The ecliptic axis does not move, however the observers wrt to both of thoes axis do move wrt both! 2. This is not so much for you as it is for some of the others here.....There are two translational motions,not one. (one to ceestial axis the other to the ecliptic plane) the oreintation of those two do not change, however an observer on a spining earth dose depening where & how on the shere (earth) is located. This is conveniently missed or the significance of it is not understand. see diagram #15-4 attached That was your second mistake... PLEASE take a look at that figure again. You keep telling me that it doesn't show your view of the HC model - but it does. You cannot have the rotation around the ecliptic without screwing up the rotation around the celestial axis. I have already shown you the reason you are wrong on that issue namely 1.Your diagram does not take into a count the spin of the earth. You cannot have a purely transactional motion on a spinning body... The earth also translates to the ecliptic plane. There is a big and key difference between a angular view of the celestial axis and a angular displaced view of the ecliptic. The two are not equivalent but only the latter will mimic and make both motions indistinguishable. I show how that is done you only make assertions that have no bases in observation or experimentation. 2.Your diagram does not dipict a fixed camera looking at the celestial pole. YOur diagrams dipicts in effect a camera looking at the ecliptic pole. a camera looking at the celestial pole can never change angle wrt the ecliptic. It however does not have to look directly at the ecliptic pole inorder to see any rotation if it existed. In your diagram the change is a result of the camera looking at the ecliptic. Yes that will change if that is the initail direction of the camera. It can however and does rotate around a real axis the eclectic if the ecliptic axis really exist. 3. Any Changes of a camera looking at other spots on the celestial latitudes does not effect what we could, would and must observe if the motions as per HC ( not your selective HC motions existed.) a orbital motion due to the rotation that in fact exist around the ecliptic would superimpose a orbit on that celestial motion such that it would cause the latitudes to move in circles not just the cameras path around those circles. Secondly it would be the most dominate motion not a subordinate motion. You would still have the circular motion you describe but with the orbital motion causing the latitudes themselves to "wobble" > And if it > does then the burden of proof is on you to demonstrate how.

Please be specific if it relates to the arguments for this discussion i will address them, particularly if they affect the validity of my argument and I have pointed out which parts I agree with - you have actually never commented on any of that, but just latch on to the part I agree on. > Your animations show effects that are either irrelevant to my argument... > Well, I'm afraid I just showed you the HC view - if that is irrelevant to you, then I apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused you. Regner, Your diagram is 1. Incomplete, It is not HC it is only a selcetive view of HC ..There is a difference!..mine is complet as of yet you have not bothered to address them excpet to say your are right and mine are not showing what yours are..!? 2. Your diagrams do not show what we would/should be looking at. the argument. That is why it is irrelevant. Your diagrams do not show the orientation of a fixed camera looking at the celestial axis over the course of a year. As a result they are not even capable of showing or refuting the radial orientation to the ecliptic axis!? Your explanations and diagrams are focused on the green line and its observablitily of the sun????? That is why it is irrelevant to my argument! Your diagrams don?t take into consideration all of the motion ascribed to the earth, so for you to claim that it shows HC is selective at best. It, I have no doubt, is how HC explains all this, but that is the point. The explanation is incomplet, erroneous and inconsistent with itself. Your explanations are erronious for all these reasons, i have shown you that. For one your application of the term rotation is not consistent. Your explintions in effect pick and chooses which motions it wants to look while as you do ignore the ones you don?t. You claim changes in the camera that don?t exist, that clealy do exist and you iggnore teh effects of certain motions would have on all this. In my arguments/ diagrams and i prove they do and have the effects just as described. It is your explanation that is a piecemeal of HC not mine. > or ignores the altogether a path that produces a > radial orientation of the fixed camera over the course of a year to the > ecliptic. > Yes - because there isn't such a thing! It is neither a part of the HC model or part of reality. What!? It most certainly is! YOu dont see the difference between HC and your HC explinations. You keep making that assertion, there most certainly is and I have shown that there is. I shown you in diagrams, you have yet to address except to say it does not exist!?...That is an assertion not a explanation! I have shown and addressed the deficiencies of your diagrams that prevent those diagrams from 1. Being completely accurate 2. Not capable of seeing what i am showing. Besides - you didn't recognize it when I showed it to you in the corrected Fig.3: //www.freelists.org/archives/geocentrism/11-2007/gif2i1Q7CRrw2.gif That was your third mistake... Regner if you had bothered and attempted even a little complete modeling and experimentation you would see that your whole explanation here particularly your application of the term rotation is entirely untenable......YOu seem to confues your edplintions with HC constructs and the two are not one and the same...One is dogma ........ the other is mechanical facts.....you have thoes two things confussed PART 2......... > 1..

If you would please take Ani.2 seriously and realize that it exactly addresses your question - and please don't dismiss me quite yet. I put the green line out along the equatorial plane, because you were looking for a "radial condition". You still haven't defined what this "radial condition" is, but my best shot, is that it means that: "you can form a straight line that goes between the centre of the Earth, the Sun, and a a fixed point (latitude and longitude) on Earth." * Your assertion is that such a line can be formed every 24 hours. * I am showing you that you can't - it will only work twice a year at the equinoxes. * The pink line between the centres of the Earth and the Sun, obviously changes latitude (where it enters Earth) during the year. Exactly as I stated in my post. * If you were to be correct, then the pink line should enter the Earth at the exact same latitude and longitude every 24 hours. It doesn't. > The camera translates only on one of its axis, & one of > its axis only, towards the celestial axis. > Eh, a translation does not involve an axis... it can refer to the motion in a plane. if a body stays in a plane then the same concept applies.... Something being moved in a circle around an axis, does not move towards or away from that axis.

The vertical distance of travel that the camera moves (Up & down) over the course of a year does not constitute the annual orbital motion remaining in the celestial plane! ( diagram 15-5) it only demonstrates a angled view of the motion that exist in the ecliptic plane. ( a simple experiment with a camera will prove this for you) It only moves and stays in the ecliptic plane all year long. that is the whole point and difference between angular view and a angular displacement. If the camera was not in real rotation around the ecliptic then yes there would only be the motions in the celestial plane. That is the difference between real and imaginary axis & motion. Your projections onto the ecliptic means that your top two plots of this post, correspond to a top-view of your very bottom figure of this post. The one with the title "This is NOT HC & THE TWO ARE NOT EQUIVALENT!" - the title, of course, we agree on. Despite the title, this is what you show in your very first two figures of this post. > ( For good reason..you cannot demonstrate that the > conditions i show don?t exist just as shown, rather you attempt opt argue > their meaning.

That motion is in the ecliptic plane. You have one axis, the Y-axis, in the ecliptic plane. It takes two axes to define (span) a plane if the axis are in that plane. > It?s x axis to the celestial axis (see attached diagram.) > It only takes one axis to define a plane perendicular to that axis. Your X-axis (the celestial axis) defines the equatorial plane and your Z-axes lies in that plane. > #15-3 The camera unequivocally rotates as a function of y & z vectors > Your statement doesn't make sense, and is therefore not unequivocal. The rotation is around your X-axis (= the celestial axis). Your Z-axis is in the equatorial plane, as defined by your X-axis. NO! The whole earth and every point on earth moves in the ecliptic plane. The vertical distance that the z y axis traverse (up & down) over the course of a year does not constitute remaining in the equatorial/ celestial plane while in orbit! It does effectively constitute remaining in the ecliptic plane. The condition of a camera on the equatorial plane is only a angled view point of the rotation around the ecliptic axis. Merely looking at a rotation from a different view does not make it go away!? All you are doing is describing a angled view and attempting to argue that it is the same thing as rotational motion on the equatorial plane. They are not the same and that is a grossly erroneous argument. Again the differences in the concepts and how you know one from the other is the point of diagrams # 15-2; 15-3, 15-4 and now once more in 15-5 This is your fourth & by far your most subtle mistake....... I will try to consolidate the issues of confusion I will try to consolidate these over the next several days.........I think I understand exactly what & why there is so much confusion with you and the others now..... > which lie on the ecliptic plane. > Only the Y-axis is in the ecliptic plane. > > 2.

You are concerned about what happens to a camera, fixed on Earth, pointing in a fixed direction with respect to Earth, and when I tell you what happens to that camera I am dismissed as being irrelevant! I think it's time for me to get back to work. Allen, please read my replies and try to understand. We have hashed through this same stuff so many times now.
