Re: The Cosmological Principle

Sam

You love your relativistic homocentricity which is the natural
progression and expansion of the original Newtonian quasi-geocentric
framehopping to an observer on the Sun.

By the early 20th century the whole thing was in such a mess that the
basis for homocentricity was borrowed from a well known 1898 science
fiction novel by H.G Wells.

"'Scientific people,' proceeded the Time Traveller, after the pause
required for the proper assimilation of this, 'know very well that
Time is only a kind of Space."

The exquisite reasoning of the Copernican/Keplerian astronomers is
before you and with time lapse footage of Saturn and Jupiter to make
enjoyment really possible you and your colleagues,knowing no better,opt
for a dumb Newtonian view.

How does it feel to follow concepts found in a science fiction novel
and then pass them off as a ' human achievement'. It was an achievement
foir Well's fictional narrative but goodness me,to believe it as you
lot do is embarrassing.

And all because Newton started that framehopping to the Sun in
attempting to explain apparent retrograde motion !.
