A planet with smaller planets orbiting it was problematic for the
orderly, comprehensive picture of the geocentric model of the universe, in which everything was supposed to circle around the Earth. As a consequence, many astronomers and philosophers initially refused to believe that Galileo could have discovered such a thing. Galileo continued to observe the satellites over the next eighteen months, and by mid 1611 he had obtained remarkably accurate estimates for their periods—a feat which Kepler had believed impossible. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_Galilei Leaving aside the fools he had to deal with, the structured thought at the end of the dark ages was violently disinclined to allow any leeway to a science that was a given in most arian philosphies but ran counter to the dogma of trinitarian ones. Einstein came up against another philosphy in his later years, the dogma of chance. Could god be playing dice with the solar system? It allowed the dogma of chaos theory to fall off its flat earthed backside into the present state of affairs. If it had been allowed to flower as a fractal representation the universe with its mutiplicity of micro~ and macro~ cosms, it might have blossomed into the reasoned logic that: If he does play dice, he lets us share the game on equal terms. Consider simple number theory and chance. If the planet were one of a set of dice; which as it happens, it does resemble, then the chances are the moon behaves as the other in the pair. And perhaps the sun is another but at its distance, or due to the constraints of the other planets, we can ignore it or assume it always throws a six, then the numbers that can come up are somewhere between 1 and 6 or 2 and 12. Or even 1 and 12. Which fits nicely on the scale of natural hazards. Coincidence? Perhaps, or not. As the case may be. |

Their theories have been seen to work. Their outcomes can be replicated. Einsteins theoretical predictions are constantly being validated. The science has moved on, but the main body of their work was correct. You cannot predict from your theories. You won't collate any records. You won't return to predictions and explain why they were not correct. Thus, it appears that they have no use. |

Would you like another biscuit? Weatherlawyer is taking the p*ss, it's all one p*ss take. He doesn't believe in what he says. He only says it to wind up people. Good though eh? Well I find it compulsive at any rate. Talking about taking the p*ss, how do you stop him drinking from the toilet bowl? |

I'll continue to help, by monitoring your forecasts to see if there really is any use in what you do. |

Here's a number list that the coincidences appealed to me sitting in front of a home PC zenning what the finest duperstupour compoopers c*n't: 1 33 1,000 I bet no one can guess what it is. It should not be a surprise to people because we know that human error can always occur http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/2115522.stm |
