Paul , Me in purple....... produces a star trail, what in the world makes you think that a rotation about a larger radius will not do the same in some proportion? Because the radius of rotation is trivial in comparison to the distance to the two stars in question and essentially plays no part in the process. IF that were true Paul please exaplain to everyone what causes the star trails we see every night?..Surely you are just kidding.........your stament contridicts your own position...... 2. proper relation between things or parts: Third item -- 4. Any precession (not to mention around an ~10mil km elliptical orbit) You didn't address the "~10mil km elliptical orbit" question. The ~ "out of round" that the earths supposed orbit is around the sun...what has that got to do with any point you are trying to make... to account for this in the north would have to manifest itself in the south. Because, even differences in degrees of latitude are enough deviation to demonstrate an affect (sic) on the size of the nightly star trails. Fourth item -- 4. No difference is observed. For your interest only -- you may wish to re-number it 5.! Fifth item -- Conclusion: There is no orbit around radius "B" This whole argument is what is known as a 'Straw Man' -- pretending to represent the opponent's position and deliberately designed to fail. Now that you've been rumbled, do you wish to reconsider? Now i dont have a clue what you are talking about..'straw man'..where? Go back up to the top and start again. This is what I have been describing in my complaints about your illustrations. You see, pretending heliocentrists say somethingthat they didn't say and then demonstrating that it is wrong is using the tactic of the straww man...But Paul they do say it , that was my point .................There are star trails produced by the mechinims of rotion aobut the nightly aixis Radius "A" we agree on that No we don't -- the radius of the rotation has no discernable effect on the matter...Paul i make a lot of mistakes but you You have absolutly no understaning of astronomy even MS astronomy....the rotaion about an axis is what causes nightly star trails......Go do your home work then come back and we might be able to talk....There is none around the annual axis radius "B" which is 23,000 times larger Again -- the radius of the rotation of the observer has no bearing on the size of the star trails where the stars are at a great distance.... You keep repeating this nonesense???? If that were true, then there would never be any nightly star trails at all .....any ......ever....... around any axis of rotation, if the radius was irrelevant!?..............I'm absolutly astoundeded that you cant see this.......Even in the nigthly star trails all the stars do not have the same size trail ..reason.....radius from the axis of rotaion.......!? HC/AC Astronomers disagree with you as well..? Iquoted the question and answer in my lasst post....... you are just avoiding it... >>>>>>>>>> 360.jpg Well I've been looking at this one for some time now, and while I think that, from the commentary in your posts, I've got some idea of what it is you're trying to illustrate, the best summing up I can make is that it simply is not clear. I would make one comment though -- and this is common to the previous illustration -- you refer to the "Green arrow is the rotation about the 90 (deg) axis to the ecliptic plane". It appears that you are implying that the Earth is centred on the ecliptic axis when it certainly is not. I've attached another drawing -- I know mine are not as flash as yours but I think they work anyway -- which depicts the Solar System as Heliocentrists see it. Would you comment an any difficulties you see with this? (Your two drawings are heliocentric in nature). I realy do like your diagram, i mean that..i will use it...... and if you would only bother to look at, you might see the error of your reasoning (or rather lack thereof) 1. Your arrows are pointing at intervals of 23h 56 min not 24 hours you keep suggesting in your experiments..?? you cant even be consistent in your own constructs.!? Notice the sub heading above? Where I defined what these comments are about? Here it is again -- >>>>>>>>>> 360.jpg!!! That means these comments are about your illustration "360.jpg" In the top right hand corner you have three arrows pointing out radially adjacent to the legend "Every 23h 56m + the earth ...". My drawing, which you seem to like ,showed how the arrows should point if the interval is 23h 56m 4.091s. The 24h I "...keep suggesting..." is in relation to my explanation of how to record a star trail caused by revolution about the ecliptic. I said "i like your drawing".... "i mean it"....translation: it is a better one then mine....!? 2. your arrows are point to a star(s) in the general direction to the ecliptic plane.!..........Now point your arrows up 90o and you should NOW have an epiphany.... Did you not notice the narrow section on the left of my drawing, which you seem to like, which illustrates just this point. I admit it is in vertical format but it is quite visible and if you have trouble reading the vertical print, your picture viewer should be able to rotate it through 90 deg... Yes, but it does not show anything!...In fact it specificaly does not show the rotaion of the earth around the ecliptic pole. An observer taking photos of nightly star trails due to the rotaion about the nightly axis should be able to show annual star trails about the ecliptic pole axis...why?...same action (rotation)..same stars...same obserever...no trails = no roation . ( about the direction of rotation and how star trails are produced) ........hint.............NIGHTLY ROTATION PRODUCES STAR TRAILS NIGHTLY.................. ..SEE THE ROTATION ABOUT THE SUN. (on that 90o axis).......WHERE ARE THE STAR TRAILS AROUND THAT AXIS?........second hint........ THEY DONâ??T EXIST!.......... my goodness Paul.......... You either wilfully or ignorantly, realy do have a 2d perception in a 3d universe..I vote willfully...so as not to have to let your cherished ideas die and get buried.....for cyring out loud, the corpse is starting to reek the most foul stench.....!? You still haven't answered the question attached to the drawing SolarSystem.jpg. I dont see a questio anywhere on it...? Remember -- it is not the answer to what is the meaning of life, the universe and everything -- it is an attempt to create agreed common ground which we both understand and which might serve as a basis for continuing this debate......... Since you have demonstrated that you obviously either don?t know & or will not grasp the difference in axis of rotation in the HC construct and or what causes any star trails, to begin with,....... I personally don?t see how you can continue, except in perhaps wilful ignorance......... when you learn what axial rotions are involved in the HC/AC construct and what causes star trails ..then i think we can begin to debate this issue further......but as of now your own explanations contradict your own construct, even the HC/AC position about what causes star trails..?
