• The Big Thud

    From Gerald Kelleher@21:1/5 to All on Wed Sep 27 21:46:42 2023
    Instead of handwringing and dithering around with unworkable interpretations and conclusions, if theorists really wish to be influential they should revisit the 17th-century notions which made the no centre/no circumference ideologies of big bang and
    black hole inevitable. There is no need to go over the geometry of RA/Dec again other than to point out that when allied with the wonky empirical notion of direct/retrograde motions based on relative motion (seen from Earth) and absolute motion (seen
    from the Sun), all physical considerations vanished amid Newton's distortion-

    There is enough observable material available to interpret in order to avoid ultimate causes and evolutionary trajectories like big bang so researchers don't bite off more than they can chew. There is no doubt that there will be those who will continue
    on with the big bang and black hole narrative as these are lucrative, if contrived notions, that entertain those who know no better, however, the real work is undoing the damage of centuries ago so that genuine productive and creative research can emerge.


    Although I do not belong to the Christian synoptic traditions, the saying about putting new wine into old wineskins ruins both just as new observations into the old RA/Dec framework destroys the necessary revolution in astronomy and experimental
    endeavours.
