Title: The Death of Heliocentricity
Post by: totallackey on January 21, 2018, 12:59:46 AM
I find the lack of a CGI rendering of the heliocentric model (depicting the complete revolutionary movement of the Sun as it travels throughout the Milky Way) to be absolute certain evidence of:

1) The model being a lie; or,

2) Newton is wrong; or,

3) The Laws of Thermodynamics are wrong.

If humans can manufacture trash like this:

Then why can we not post the real deal, based on "real science?"

There does not exist a complete computer model of the economy of Australia; nor a model of ridership on the tube wrt each individual; nor a model of the electrical wiring in the Louvre. That models of these things have yet to be made is not evidence that economists don't understand Australia, nor urban planners the tube, nor electricians the Louvre. At best, it is evidence that making these models is not necessary to prove they exist nor to understand them effectively.

So it is with the solar system; or it would be, except that computer models of it do exist, as so many examples were given in the previous thread you made on this exact topic, that went so well.

I again present solarsystemscope.com to the forum, and again decline to participate further in this highly-regarded shitshow.

How do you know?

I am of the opinion there are many computer simulations of economies, utilizing many different economic theories.

When I attended Fresno State University in 1981, we did computer modeling in my Macro Economic class (actually using PUNCH CARDS for data entry!!! LMFAO!!!)

Please provide evidence of your assertion.

Plus, there are no competing theories on regard to the heliocentric model. You have an accepted theory governed by specific Laws of Motion and Thermodynamics.
nor a model of ridership on the tube wrt each individual;
Why would a model of any subway be broken down to the individual riders?

A demographic model would be of far more value.
nor a model of the electrical wiring in the Louvre.
Well, this is just about the most ridiculous claim I have ever seen in my life.

Does not even deserve an answer.

As an aside, the models which you are proposing are so far removed from the CGI rendering of the Solar System it could be considered quite meaningless as a base for arguing the issue.
That models of these things have yet to be made
A dubious claim which requires more evidence than your word, I am afraid.
is not evidence that economists don't understand Australia, nor urban planners the tube, nor electricians the Louvre. At best, it is evidence that making these models is not necessary to prove they exist nor to understand them effectively.
You need more evidence models do not exist. 
So it is with the solar system; or it would be, except that computer models of it do exist, as so many examples were given in the previous thread you made on this exact topic, that went so well.
None of which fit the bill.
I again present solarsystemscope.com to the forum, and again decline to participate further in this highly-regarded shitshow.
It would be smart of you to decline further participation as your argumentation is flawed and baseless. Your model is in the wrong thread. Plus, it has no verified pedigree. Plus the rest of the forum disavowed your model as accurate.

You’re seeing the trees but not the forest.  Each of the models you find so ridiculous to even suggest?  THAT’S THE POINT.  Demanding a computer model of a thing, then rejecting that the thing exists when no model is presented, is ridiculous.

I am of the impression you are the one who lacks understanding.

There are models that exist.

It is obvious they exist.

What is also obvious the models that exist are not based on the science that gave birth to the  heliocentric model.

It would be super helpful for you to stop using heliocentric, because then people think you want a model of the solar system of which plenty exist.

What you really want is a model of the entire galaxy, which seems like a really weird thing to want, given the difficulties in observing the galaxy.

Isn't it sufficiently supportive of Newtonian mechanics to have accurate models of the solar system?

At this point, I feel justified enough in my claim to let it stand.

At some point it becomes evident enough in an argument to ascertain who is uttering fact or fiction. If the models available relied on the calculations of Newton, it would be patently indicated. Since they do not, as far as I can tell, I will rely on you to prove me wrong.

Post the model here:https://forum.tfes.org/index.php?action=post;topic=8557.0;last_msg=138992 (https://forum.tfes.org/index.php?action=post;topic=8557.0;last_msg=138992), along with the calculations used to build the model. Show the model in complete motion according to the terms stated in the OP.

Thank you.

Yes you did, and since it did not clearly present any reference to any use of Kepler/Newton in the formation of any CGI rendering (nor did it actually present an opportunity for CGI rendering), what is there to do with the model you presented, except reject it?

If you would be so kind and helpful to provide direction to the CGI rendering and the math utilized in its creation, that would be appreciated.

If I was demanding a CGI rendering of your dog taking a dump in your back yard as evidence of the Solar System moves as science claims it does or the math of Newton supports the textbook representation of the movements of the Solar System, then yes...that would be a non-sequitur.

But I am not.

Also, am I to take this statement: "the lack of the creation of a CGI model ..." as an admission your model submission did not meet the requirements of my original request?

And that no model actually exists?
Newton's laws and thermodynamics have been tested in thousands of ways over hundreds of years and it is extermely[sic] well established where they are accurate and where they are not.  These laws were accurate before computers existed too.
That is exactly my point.

A CGI rendering would only serve to solidify the science.

Let me get this straight - if someone presented you with a "complete" model, you would subscribe to RET? Why is that your sticking point? What if they're lying about the math? Wouldn't you need to learn the math and build the model yourself for it to prove anything to you?

Or, per the Zetetic Method, build every possible model and prove that only the Flat Earth model works...

I gave such a model in the other thread, and I'm happy to give it to you. But first we need to agree what the word heliocentric means, or you need to stop using it.

Heliocentric means sun-centered, so any heliocentric model has the sun stationary. You seem to want the sun in motion, which means you want a galactic-centric or universe-centric model, I think.

Here is my model that is heliocentric, meaning it is choosing the sun's frame of reference.

A CGI rendering of the Solar System, showing the Sun in its revolutionary motion at 485,000 MPH, with the planets and all other objects in the Solar System dutifully in tow...

Is that what you present here?

No, it is respectfully not.

The fact I would be observing the movement from "outside," a point of reference other than the Sun does not change the fact I would be observing a System of planets in orbits centered upon the Sun.

Thus, the term "heliocentric," stands.

Post by: AATW on January 21, 2018, 06:38:16 PM
You defined the model in such a way that one probably doesn't exist, most models of the solar system - and you were given plenty in the other thread - will not model the sun spinning as that is not what they are intended for, they are meant to model the movement of the planets, which they do. What would a spinning sun add to the model? And the models aren't going to show the sun's movement because that would mean a model of the whole galaxy.

It is ludicrous logic "A model to these exact incredibly specific specifications doesn't exist, ergo heliocentricity is dead!"

Maybe you should think about whether a flat earth model exists which can explain sunset (without making up perspective rules which don't reflect reality), let alone anything else.

The thing about CGI is that it is not cheap.  When we watch Toy Story, the funny thing is the animation started with artists drawing the characters.  Then sculptors created clay models of these drawings.  Only then did they take pictures of the physically real clay models from all sorts of angles to create a digital model that then was used to create the film Toy Story or any other Pixar film.  They did not create a CGI model of these characters using a computer.  So I am not surprised that CGI models of pretty much anything exists or does not exist. 
I will add that I do not see any CGI model of a flat earth that explains anything we can observe ourselves zenetically. I would like to see some model that shows how southern Chile can get 15 hours of sunlight.
And Newton is "wrong" when taken to the scale outside the limits of practicality.  Engineers use stress to design bridges but no one has ever shown that stress actually exists.  The model predicts the behavior of the bridge but it has never been shown to exist.

You have been provided with a heliocentric model of the solar system that does reference Newton, Kepler, etc...

The most accurate simulation of the Milky Way to date is the Eris simulation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eris_(simulation)).  It is not going to satisfy your absurdly high standard of evidence because the 1.4M processor hours it took in a supercomputer network to simulation the 13B yrs the Milky Way has been in existence -only- contained 60,000,000 pixels and so was insufficient to model each of the 200-400B stars in the Milky Way.  So, the best you can reasonably claim, is that Newton's and Kepler's laws may not accurately describe galactic evolution to a granular level.  I can concede that.  But that Newton and Kepler is completely wrong, not even just inaccurate and antiquated, but completely wrong, is absurd.

What do you base this assumption on?

Also, I'd be interested in how the flat earth theory allows for 24 hour days, yet whichever latitude it's summer in gets more daylight hours.  Especially in the December-February, which is summer down here (Australia).  Let's assume that the sun moves farther outward from the centre of the disc to give us more warmth in that time.  However, it's now got a greater distance to travel in the same 24 hours.  Say, it's doing 60,000 km instead of the 40,000 km at the equator.  So that's 1.5 times the distance, which means it's travelling 1.5 times as fast to make the distance in the same time.

So far, so good, yeah?

Except that the problem is that just like in Europe and North America, summer in the Southern Hemisphere is typified by longer days.  Which means that the sun can't be travelling faster over any spot on the world.  If anything, days would be much shorter.  1.5 times as short, to be exact.  We'd be getting 8 hours of sunlight instead of 16.

I cordially invite anyone to come to Australia in the summer.  I'll even put you up in my spare bedroom (it's air-conditioned).  You can measure the hours of daylight, and then explain to me that if the sun is passing by faster, how are the days lasting longer.
I look forward to the explanation. It should be a good one.

Sorry, Newton being wrong is one of the points of the OP.
Okay, you are stating beyond equivocation, Newton is wrong when it comes to the movement of the Solar System.
I am saying no one in the scientific community believes that Newton's view of physics is the most accurate model, or in other words, he is wrong.  The scientific community to the vast majority will say he is "wrong."
Looks unequivocal to me.
His law of gravity is great for most applications but outside the basic assumptions he is wrong.  He is wrong about F=ma when one gets outside the realm of normal everyday experience.
But wait...according to science the Solar System is in, "textbook motion," everyday...right?

And that textbook motion is attributed to...wait for it...

Newton!

Damn equivocation!
So I am saying that point 2 of the OP is correct.  Newton is wrong.  Especially if one is building a model to explain the motions of the universe.
I did not think that deserves a warning.  To say that I agree that Newton is wrong.

The motion of the planets around the sun is not attributed to Newton, it is described to a good degree of accuracy by equations developed by Newton and Kepler.

What is “textbook motion” anyway?

Regardless, the heliocentric solar system has been accurately modeled in digital renderings with open code and a model of the galaxy is in progress, but due to size constraints, it isn’t accurate enough to include our specific solar system yet, as far as I know.

Your reply does not surprise me.

I find the failure of those who support the heliocentric model to provide an accurate model (with open and honest references to Newton/Kepler/Einstein, etc.) to be on par with NIST and their report concerning WTC 7.

A total prevention of open, honest scientific inquiry into reality.

The inability to readily pull up a pretty animation based on your list of demands isn't preventing open scientific inquiry. The problem you run into is that you don't understand the math. There is a wealth of information out there on orbital mechanics, it just isn't in a format that is easy for you to understand. Further, even if we were able to find an animation that met your demands, how would you check its accuracy? This thread is pointless and should probably be in complete nonsense.

I find the lack of a CGI rendering of the heliocentric model (depicting the complete revolutionary movement of the Sun as it travels throughout the Milky Way) to be absolute certain evidence of:

1) The model being a lie; or,

2) Newton is wrong; or,

3) The Laws of Thermodynamics are wrong.

The answer is 2) Newton is wrong.

There are anomalies in Mercury orbit that can't fit into Newton's laws.
That's where Einstein's General Realtivity is more accurate.

If you use reference frame tied to Milky way we aren't sure how accurate our formulas could be.
But if you use reference frame tied to Sun and limit scope to Solar system, then Einstein is good.
They say for reference frame tied to Earth with local scope (satellites and orbital vehicles), Newton is good enough.

Verify for yourself.
Vortex = tornado. Helix = spiral. You mean helix.

Why would that  not be Newtonian mechanics? From the perspective of the sun, the orbits are ellipses, Newtonian/Keplerian. Just because the entire system is moving doesn't change things.

Centripetal acceleration is v^2/r, so the acceleration from the galactic orbit (radius: 28000 light years, velocity: 828000 km/hr) is something like 2 * 10^-10 m/s^2. That's peanuts compared to the acceleration due to Earth's orbit of the sun (radius: 1 AU, velocity: 30 km/s) at .006 m/s^2.

https://www.google.com/search?q=(828000+km%2Fhour)%5E2+%2F+28000+light+years
https://www.google.com/search?q=(30+km%2Fs)%5E2%2F1AU

So, by comparison, the frame of reference of the sun moving about the galactic core is nearly inertial.

Everything seems fine to me. What's the problem with the helical motion?

What shape do you think the moons of Jupiter inscribe across the solar system?

No I do not.

I mean vortex.
EDIT: according to Phil Plait, author of the debunking article, the planets in the false model trace a helix. The modeler of the debunked model, in labeling his model as a vortex model, utilized the wrong terminology.
Why would that  not be Newtonian mechanics?
Because Newtonian mechanics states without equivocation orbits are ellipses. And if Universal Sandbox was indeed using Newtonian mechanics the orbits would ellipses or "helical," not a vortex or a helix.

But the orbits rendered in your submitted model are vortex.
From the perspective of the sun, the orbits are ellipses, Newtonian/Keplerian. Just because the entire system is moving doesn't change things.
Okay. Start with you as an observer on the Sun.

Start the model in motion.

See if your statement holds...
Centripetal acceleration is v^2/r, so the acceleration from the galactic orbit (radius: 28000 light years, velocity: 828000 km/hr) is something like 2 * 10^-10 m/s^2. That's peanuts compared to the acceleration due to Earth's orbit of the sun (radius: 1 AU, velocity: 30 km/s) at .006 m/s^2.

Again, it is not a helical orbit that is displayed here.

It is a vortex EDIT: (actually, helix).

You really, truly have no idea how geometry works, at least in 3 dimensions.  A helix is what you end with if the point that is tracing the perimeter of the ellipse along a plane in the x and y axis carries a vector in the z axis with respect to t.

But the orbits rendered in your submitted model are vortex.

The understanding here can be reached by understanding "local frame of reference".

Sun and orbiting planets don't revolve separately around galaxy core.

Look at Earth and Moon.
They are not orbiting Sun separately, but as a system.
Within the system Moon is still following its elliptic orbit relative to Earth.

Jupiter with all its moons also makes system that revolves around Sun as a whole.
During that movement every Jupiter's moon follows own elliptical orbit relative to Jupiter.

Same goes for all planets and other objects orbiting the Sun.

Solar system orbits galactic core as a whole.
Paths of planets of Solar system are helicoidal relative to galactic core, but elliptical relative to the Sun.
Just like each planet moons have spiral paths relative to the Sun but elliptical relative to own planets.

Example of Sun-Earth system:
Within Solar system reference frame Earth orbits Sun on elliptical path.
But relative to galactic reference frame they both additionally have velocity component of orbiting galactic core.

That component is equal for both, Sun and Earth, and doesn't influence their local interaction.

Our present knowledge about Universe couldn't be developed while religious Dogma was active.
If revolution around galaxy core takes 225 million years, and our heliocentric observations last 400 years,
then during the whole observation period Solar system traveled (360/225 million)*400 = 0.00064 degrees on own orbit.

It is 2.3 arcseconds for entire 400 years, or 0.00575 arcseconds per year (1.597E-6 degrees).
Error of 0.000001597 degrees is 1.6 ppm (parts per million) yearly, or 365 times smaller than that daily, which is 4.38 ppb (parts per billion).

Not enough to be measured during formulation of Kepler's laws.
Too close to straight line.
During our routine calculations within inner part of Solar system it sounds pretty tollerable to me.

I don't know if, for the probe New Horizons sent to Pluto, they took the correction into calculation.

Keplerian elliptical orbits apply to two bodies. If you restrict yourself to the sun & a planet, or even the sun and all planets, it's a very good model, but then you are sitting on the sun (in some magical protective bubble) watching the planets go around.

If you want to introduce the galactic center, you can't continue to expect ellipses. The ellipses are still there, they are just stretched over space in some other direction, making a helix.

What you are saying is like this:
- Juggling one ball is just throwing it straight up and down.
- When I'm juggling in a bus travelling down the freeway, the path of the ball isn't straight up and down - it's a parabola!
- Therefore juggling doesn't exist.

You can have an observer in the bus watching the ball go straight up and down, or an observer on the side of the road watching the ball go in parabolas. Just like this, you can have an observer coasting along next to the sun observing ellipses, and an observer stationary with respect to the galaxy watching the sun go by with planets tracing helixes.

It's the same motion, just observed from a different frame.

Math is tool and gives truth when you know how to use it.

Sit on a bench in park and whirl your keys in front of you, you will see them making circle, observer from outside the bench will see them making circle.
Sit on platform sliding on rails and whirl keys in front of you, you will see them making circle again, observer from outside the platform will see them making spiral.

You will calculate circle from your point of view.
Observer from outside the platform will calculate spiral.
In one full rotation on such circle there's less traveling distance than is one full rotation in such spiral.
Faster you go, difference is bigger.

Traveling distance depends on frame of reference, and in both frames is truth within the frame.

For cosmic travels we plan ballistic trajectories because we can't carry enough fuel to correct directions on the run.
To plan interplanetary trajectory within solar system we need frame tied to Sun.
To plan interstellar trajectory within the galaxy, we need frame tied to galactic core.

the way I am viewing the universe sandbox model is incorrect and inaccurate is due to my understanding of this article: http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2013/03/04/vortex_motion_viral_video_showing_sun_s_motion_through_galaxy_is_wrong.html (http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2013/03/04/vortex_motion_viral_video_showing_sun_s_motion_through_galaxy_is_wrong.html)
Please read the article and let me know if you arrive at the same conclusion.

Ok, I think I understand you now- yes, that particular universe sandbox video has a similar problem to the “vortex” video that I hadn’t understood on first viewing. But now that I know Universe Sandbox exists maybe I or you can build one that is accurate. I believe the ecliptic is tilted about 60 degrees to the galactic motion vector, but I will check the details before attempting to build a model.

An accurate one would show helical motion, and that is allowed by Newtonian mechanics.
