Hi there,
a friend of mine sent me a link about the eclipse that will be visible from where I am (Belgium) on March 20th:
http://www.eclips2015.be/fr and I couldn't help thinking about this forum where I posted a few topics some time ago (
including one that successfully falsified FET).
The link is in french, but you can see the pictures and animations which are kind of obvious. The green lines, for example, show the path where a total eclipse will be visible. In my case, it won't be total but the sun should be 83% blocked by the moon.
Now, these are predictions, as the eclipse didn't occur yet. But you'll notice that these are pretty detailed predictions: exact path, timing (to the minute), shape of eclipse, etc.
Knowing that FET is wrong, and that calculations for those predictions are based on RET, I actually won't be surprised to see those predictions come true.
But what is the position for FEers? that the predictions will fail? or that they will indeed be true but simply because of luck (a LOT of it) ? or... something else?
thanks!
