    The following astronomical description by Newton is the single greatest
    indication that he unfortunately scrambled the insight of Roemer with
    Keplerian motion hence the tangle every time contemporaries open their
    mouth on finite light distance.

    PHÆNOMENON V.
    Then the primary planets, by radii drawn to the earth, describe areas
    no wise proportional to the times; but that the areas which they
    describe by radii drawn to the sun are proportional to the times of
    description.

    For to the earth they appear sometimes direct, sometimes stationary,
    nay, and sometimes retrograde. But from the sun they are always seen
    direct, and to proceed with a motion nearly uniform, that is to say, a
    little swifter in the perihelion and a little slower in the aphelion
    distances, so as to maintain an equality in the description of the
    areas. This a noted proposition among astronomers, and particularly
    demonstrable in Jupiter, from the eclipses of his satellites; by the
    help of which eclipses, as we have said, the heliocentric longitudes of
    that planet, and its distances from the sun, are determined."

    A genius cannot tolerate inferiority or insincerity and Newton displays
    both attributes in abundance.He is a theorist who imagines he is an
    astronomer as are all those who follow the empirical cult.

    There is no crisis in cosmology as some would have it for basically you
    are reaping what was sowed a few hundred years ago,by not co-operating
    with me or among yourselves you managed to create a particularly nasty
    situation for the first time in the history of the investigation of
    natural phenomena and threaten to take down everything with the
    scientific umbrella.

    Btw,Knowing exactly what Isaac did wrong is far more enjoyable than the
    early 20th century trash which is simply an exotic festering of the
    Newtonian picture.So far,all anyone does is run around the Newtonian
    cage like squirrels.

So exactly what did Isaac get wrong, according to you?
