Has anyone seen The Principle Docuмentary movie? Reviews? Recommendation?
The movie attempts to tell us( like Luther, Calvin, James, Bacon etc) that S rev around E( which the Bible Does Not say.
My recommendation would be to avoid the lunatic flick. :detective:
I'll put money on it that you haven't seen it, roscoe.
And i will bet that you have not read Copernicus--- or at least book I where the general theory is spelled out.
Is there Anyone in the Forum besides moi who has actually read Copernicus? :smoke-pot:
I have roscoe, I have it here in front of me. It is also reviewed in the book THE EARTHMOVERS on this forum:
De revolutionibus itself, it is divided into six books. Such is its complexity and volume of writing and data that it is doubtful anyone ever read it all, let alone tried and tested its data and mechanisms. Truly it is a book compiled by dedicated mathematicians, containing thousands and thousands of words, opinions, numbers, equations and geometrical illustrations. But now let us take a glimpse inside it in order to see how well Copernicus knew the real problems in discerning the true universe:There is another bit you must have read roscoe:
In April 1543, the first edition of De Revolutionibus arrived from Nuremberg. Copernicus, who had suffered a stroke two years earlier, had his copy placed on his bed. He died some hours later without comment. Rheticus however, opened it up only to find a preface entitled; To the Reader Concerning the Hypothesis of this Work, otherwise known as the ‘Ad lectorem’ introduction, it went like this:
‘And if it constructs and thinks up causes - and it has certainly thought up a good many - nevertheless it does not think them up in order to persuade anyone of their truth but only in order that they provide a correct basis for calculation…Maybe the philosopher demands probability instead; but neither of them will grasp anything certain or hand it on, unless it has been divinely revealed to him.’
Given that Copernicus advanced astronomy not one star or one moon, and nothing in his book could be verified empirically, how did his model take hold in science as a truth, as the true scientific order of the world we live in?
Answer; because the roscoes of this world do/did not know the difference between a theory and a fact.
