Re this thread, and Regner's question, I have to withdraw
my previous statement that observations of the rotations of the North or South
stars or any stars for that matter, are evidence of support for geocentrism.
One would have to considerably reduce the alleged and
accepted distances these stars are from the solar system, for this
hypotheses to have any value. I see no evidence that would convince me that
these distances are wrong.
I apologise for any distraction I caused. It was fun
though, as I was forced to get with the facts, which I now want to forget.
I continue to hold to my original stated position in
support of geocentrism, namely that the laws of Newton hold true but are
incomplete without the effect of an aether being included. Therefore I
do not have any facts as such, but merely a hypotheses , in support of
geocentrism.
