[geocentrism] Re: Moving Earth deception From: "philip madsen" .....Actually, I think this is all unnecessary complication. Let us shoot our laser at the target on the Moon when it is at 90 deg to the Sun-Earth line ie half phase. In the helio scenario, the Earth and the Moon are both travelling at 30 km/s in the same direction so there is no differential. In the Geo scenario, this velocity does not exist so again there is no differential. However, in the helio case, the Moon, at a distance of 384 400 km is moving tangentially at 1.023 km/s. To hit a spot at this distance and 1 s in the future, we need to lead the target by asin 1.023/384 400 -- about 152.5 u deg. In the geo case, the Moon 1 s in the future will be 26.98 km ahead of our aiming point and so we will need to lead the target by atan 26.98/384 400 -- about 4 m deg. Thus if the beam is about "...well over 100 m radius ...", the precision available would produce a totally unambiguous answer. Even at 2 km radius, there is sufficient precision available to make it worth wagering half of your super on. (i've drunk my super.. living on the state) According to MS - and contrary to experiment - therewould be aberration in sighting the target on the Moon, so the lead angle would be doubled. RB
