Prove it with links, otherwise shut the fuck up. Your knowledge in real Astronomy is laughable. Tesla, Fibonacci and Marconi would laugh the shit out of you. Says who? Says hundreds of years of astronomy. Learn some basic celestial mechanics. How about "The elements of the four inner planets and the fundamental constants of astronomy" for starters: [link to books.google.com] And... [link to adsabs.harvard.edu] You don't even realize that our ecliptic plane is not square with our direction of travel in the galaxy, and you have the gall to tell me to shut the fuck up and that my knowledge of astronomy is laughable? Shut the fuck up yourself. The solar apex, our solar system's direction of travel projected onto the sky has the coordinates of about 18hr RA, +30 degrees Dec ( [link to books.google.com] ) whereas our north ecliptic pole has coordinates of about 18hr RA, +66.5 degrees Dec. [link to en.wikipedia.org] Therefore, our planet is at some points in its orbit "ahead" of the sun in the sun's direction of travel through the galaxy, specifically this condition is at its peak when the sun's position along the ecliptic in our sky is at 6hr RA, in other words, at the June solstice. It says you were quoting me, but that is not what I wrote. I do not know who you were quoting there, but it certainly wasn't me. With that said, conventional science is always it's own worst enemy due to entrenchment of theories that become favorites of the scientific community. The truth is not a popularity contest, the most brilliant ideas aren't always the most accepted ones. Science is always proving itself wrong and refining itself, that's the path and process of discovery. So when a scientist cannot maintain the notion that accepted and popular mainstream theories could actually be wrong and/or incomplete, he/she is demonstrating poor form. We live in a scientific oligarchy. It's mandatory that we question the so-called "proven" theories being purported by the entrenched scientific community. At best they are incomplete unto themselves. When an educated person who "knows" stuff feels the need to insult and condescend to others, they are over-compensating for something. |

Science is built from observation. And people only see what they WANT to believe. And people only believe what the church tells them to believe. If it is true, it will never be believed by the masses until it is recognized by the masses in whole. |

It would stand to show that a good scientist is happy to prove themselves wrong, rather than constantly touting how "right" they are all of the time. Insults don't do justice to the theories and ideas being discussed. When a person resorts to insults, they have lost objectivity and inserted their subjective emotions into the debate. Poor form for all parties involved. Educated people are over-compensating when they resort to insults and slurs to debate a point. I stand by that remark, I don't think you noticed that it wasn't directed to anyone in particular, hence your following statement: "That's because you're biased and intellectually dishonest."

I can't understand why you want to make this all about you. Why such a personal investment in other peoples' theories and ideas? Perhaps this is why you have people making personal threats, etc., because you make it a personal issue. Good luck to you.
