Phil, If only your comment had any bering on the actual mechanics we were discussing you would have a point ..none.. However, it does not! So please tell us why do you keep grasping at examples that don't reflect or have any relevance to what we are talking about to make a point about what we are discussing?...I also gave you this in the last post...This is relevant, because this is what is under discussion and consideration.... .....http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cookie_setting_error.html the axis of 2d rotation (not 2d objects, only 2d rotation by definition) is always perpendicular to the xy plane...!? that is geometry Phil not Allen...... Even Regners mention of the 3% elliptical will not help his cause either. Because the period of the osculation can't negate the observable state of rotational without negating the real rotational state itself which is what your example is about....(in both a internal as well as external observers ref frame)........!? philip madsen <pma15027@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Allen said, "The axis is determined by the path of rotation at 90 degrees to it...period!.....,." . then later quotes this dictionary, "Dictionary.com....Axis: .A straight line about which a body or geometric object rotates or may be conceived to rotate. or the center around which something rotates..." Allen, where is the 90 degrees mentioned in the latter.. But I do accept both your statements combined as follows and slightly modified to accurately complete it. . I have not denied anything above anywhere. Axis: .A straight line about which a body or object rotates at right angles to the average plane of rotation . Now seeing as you love to talk vibrations. Please tell me what is the axis of a body rotating horizontally one revolution per second around a centre point C and has a sine wave oscillation of 10 Hz per revolution, with a peak amplitude 10 degrees above and below the horizontal plane . When you have worked that out, and it needs no maths, do this one. No math either. What is the axis of a body rotating horizontally one revolution per second around a centre point C and has a sine wave oscillation of one Hz per revolution, with a peak amplitude 23 degrees above and below the horizontal plane . You should be able to see this graphically in a second.. and the answer is one word. And I am not upset.. I have no feelings, except pleasure and pain.

It is MS and everyones else definition of rotation!?.... Dont blame the messenger Philip. look at the diagram. Regarudless, of how you "feel" or what you "think" about it or what the rate of the nightly rotaion is 23h56 min v 24 hours that is irrelevant. The condition as outlined in the diagram takes place every 24 hours by MS definitions. over the course of a year it prescibes a rotaion......This even by MS not Allen' opinon is defined as rotataion...if you reject it you reject the very thing you use to make your arguments with....LOL Rotation: 3. a single complete turn (axial or orbital); "the plane made three rotations before it crashed"; "the revolution of the earth about the sun takes one year" you responded to my commets here ......The axis is determined by the path of rotation at 90 degrees to it...period!....., not aribrary imagination..that is the reason you cant see your own error Phil: "That Allen is your own dogmatic opinion, and I am not obliged to either agree with or follow it.. that is the reason niether I nor some others can see (accept) your error." LOL..... Dictionary.com....Axis: .A straight line about which a body or geometric object rotates or may be conceived to rotate. or the center around which something rotates... http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cookie_setting_error.html the axis of 2d rotation (not 2d objects, only 2d rotation by definition) is always perpendicular to the xy plane...!? that is geometry Phil not Allen......LOL.......look at the attached diagram again.... .I find it interesteing that you seem to be upset. I would have thought as a "card carring Geocentrist" you would be rather pleased as a "geocentrist" that MS defintions support and even make GC's case...? Notice you don't see and i very seriously doubt that Regner would ever attempt to use your argument...........:-) <pma15027@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:  Are we all agreed so far? Neville Not entirely sure yet.. Neville said, 3. The World takes 23h 56m 4.091s to rotate once about its axis. I am no math person, but instinct tells me that the 4 minutes is taken off because of the increment of rotation needed to be caught up, due to the alleged orbiting of the earth. It is not specifically the true spin rate. It is 24 hours from sun rise to sun rise. Therefore in the HC scene, as the sun is stationary, the real rotation is once in 24 hours.. the other figure is a mathmatical compute to justify the differential in observation of the other stars caused by the orbit al change in location. Like I said.. Its only instinctive.. but I saw a diagram once somewhere. And someone has to answer the connundrum I gave to Allen re the moon, and what IS spin.

In the following, I am referring ONLY to the heliocentric (= acentric) system. 1. The camera must not be manipulated by the operator, other than to determine how long to keep the shutter open for. In particular, the camera must not be reorientated for the period of the exposure. This will ensure that whatever movement we capture on film will be due to the World's motion. 2. A size of R (= the radius of the World) or 1AU are both insignificant when compared to the distances to the stars. 3. The World takes 23h 56m 4.091s to rotate once about its axis. 4. The World takes 365.25 solar days to orbit the Sun. 5. The difference between a solar day and a sidereal day is approx. 4 mins. Are we all agreed so far?
