Re: Advanced Building Technology in Remote Antiquity?
To advance the theory a little we could suppose that the whole wall was made on its back; cast in discrete blocks formed by dividers. It would be done sequentially so that hardened blocks would be the form for the next pour. The blocks could then be lifted and assembled in the vertical position with...

Re: Advanced Building Technology in Remote Antiquity?
It looks like a functional wall and the completion schedule was the priority. Is this igneous rock? Perhaps the knobs are the remains of a foundry process. They should have been fettled but there was no time and it didn’t matter that much. The blocks were cast with the face side up. The sides in con...

Re: THE "CHATBOX"
Dancing T-Handle Perhaps this is an inside joke—a reference to what actually happens to free objects in space, including satellites, rocket stages, or any supposed ‘space probe’, ‘capsule’ etc. Rigid bodies take on a cone shaped precession, and semi-rigid bodies (eg the ‘ISS’ with its shaky ‘solar p...

Re: Advanced Building Technology in Remote Antiquity?
The evidence of machine cuts is something new and astonishing to me, thank you for posting this. I was in Petra 30 years ago (it was almost completely deserted) and supposed it to be hand working of soft stone, preserved by the climate. The pre-Inca stone masonry seems to be a combination of linear ...

Re: Introducing the TYCHOS
The period correlation is awe inspiring, I think there may be a further explanation. My first thought was that if no stars are involved then the geo-helio system should not be showing anything within its own frame of reference. But it clearly is, so what is the PVP orbit doing to observed conjunctio...

Re: Introducing the TYCHOS
The Tychos does not need the concept of barycentre to stand up, it’s enough to stay within terms of primary observation and say: ‘The observations and cyclic periods indicate that relative to the stars our system rotates around a fixed axis at the centre of the PVP orbit.’ But it would be great if y...

Re: Introducing the TYCHOS
Let us consign 'The Wobble' to a black hole, I am sorry to have raised it, just my sense of humour. I think my only point is that when we say Barycentre we need to qualify it with 'barycentre of what?'. The barycentre of anything but the system as a whole will presumably move relative to the stars. ...

Re: Introducing the TYCHOS
As I understand it a free floating system always revolves around the centre of mass because it needs energy from outside to do anything else. If the centre of mass accelerates, some exterior force must be making it. (Circular motions accelerate towards the centre). So the centre of the PVP orbit is ...

Re: Introducing the TYCHOS
Dear Simon, I wonder if you would disagree with the following statement: 'The Planetary motions and periods observed against the stars demonstrate that the Barycentre of our planetary system (including the Sun and all the planets, moons and orbiting debris) is the point at the centre of the PVP orbi...

Re: The TYCHOSIUM: Proving the TYCHOS with 3D modeling
Dear Simon, Awe inspiring work, thrilled to be here. I can only suppose that it will be accepted in the inner circle of Astronomy, but denied (or simply ignored) in the wider world. These same people are obviously familiar with the whole Space scam. They and all the 'Rocket Science' Physicists and E...

Wonderful thank you Simon! Here’s a paper all about the Explorer satellites going beep-beep-beep: ‘Vehicle Motions as Inferred from Radio-signal- Strength Records’ https://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19650073999.pdf I think it gives a glimpse of some real engineering before everyth...

Re: Satellites : general discussion and musings
Pure speculation, but when one considers all the (impossible) difficulties of navigating to and entering an orbit around a planet or the Moon, you begin to realise that some of the same difficulties are presented when entering Earth orbit (from Earth). When a satellite is launched it follows the Gre...

Re: Does Rocketry Work beyond Earth's atmosphere?
Just got to the end…may I add something from personal experience? I burnt off lot of gas at high rates from drilling rigs. I was interested in the thread because a few years back I tried to calculate the thrust produced by a horizontal gas flare - someone had angled the flare tip up and I was concer...

Re: REQUIRED: Introduce Yourself
If you go to Chapter 26 and find the image of 'the path of Proxima Centauri thru the sky' you can fix the scale of the yearly distance from the height of the loops - which in Tychos we know to be the parallax created by the diameter of the earth. I measured it on my laptop screen and got a low numbe...

Re: REQUIRED: Introduce Yourself
Hello, I am a retired engineer in the oil and gas industry, living in West Australia. I have been reading SC for 3 years. I am interested in how our society works and its history in the light of all this. My early interest in Space has been restored by the Tychos and discovering the realities of eng...
