Philip,
First I must apologize for not being able to follow the forum ; I wish I had
more time. On your email below (I couldn't send back with your drawings), you
tricked the forum by not showing in both examples the same data. In your
first example (2 drawings), the ecliptic line is shown as going through the
center of the earth, while in your second example, the line of the ecliptic is
only going through the center of the Earth on the equinoxes.
So your conclusion (or assumption) is not valid.

Subject: [geocentrism] an axis or not?
I must say that the recent discussions on the solar orbit debate with its
complex diagrams did cause me some amazement. It was as if some people saw the
graphic geometrical representations as a reality, something that I just could
not appreciate. So I decided to put up an example of equivalent geometry, with
the accent on axes. You know, the celestial versus ecliptic type. My
diagramatic graphics will not approach the complexity of others but it should
suffice.
Please note that I will assume and presume a geocentric solar system.
Heliocentrists may just accept it as an exercise in geometry.
In the first diagram I show a stationary earth with an axis through the N-S
poles, still called the celestial axis. I also show the suns 24 hour orbit
around the earth by two positions 12 hours apart, and the annual orbit which
has an axis enclined to the celestial axis some 23 degrees.
Notice that in this motion of the suns 24 hour orbit around the world during
which it travels a short part of its 365 day orbit , that the axis of the orbit
has a 24 hour precessional motion like a top spinning off balance. So this axis
is merely a geometrical expression varying in time.
Let me show you the equivalent motions in another geometrical form which is far
closer to the reality. Here we have the solar motion as it really is, a helix
(spring)
Where in the sun travels north and south to complete its annual orbit. This is
identical mathmatically and physically as the last drawing except, where is
the axis of a spring? Here we have the solar orbit axis in line with the
celestial axis, as I have always maintained it should be.
Philip.
