A quick thought about Astronomy.

This is a serious post. If you don't know how to add to a discussion or say anything except for spam, please just ignore this post. We are on a [i]very[/i] small planet, which rotates about its axis, an axis which moves (look up:precession), while rotating about our star, while rotating about the middle of the Galaxy, in a galaxy which moves about other galaxies, galaxies which are gravitationally bound in a cluster, which moves about all the other clusters in the universe; all the while gravity bends light, light takes time to travel to us, and the expansion of space has been accelerating for the past 5 billion years. We have absolutely horrible vision of the universe. Countless calculations have to be made to correct for error when observing space. [b]What If we're missing something?[/b]

  • I'm positive that we are wrong about something. Only so much can be done made from observations and calculations light years away, regardless of the precesion of the calculations. I only hope I can live enough for something big in science to surface and shake up our way of life as we know it
