@✧Mike Flatbird (Mike Blackbird)✧ sure they can be predicted by patterns

but this method doesn't use patterns at all

it models motion with physics

and it perfectly predicts eclipses

the things do move in patterns true

but that's not what's being used for the ephemeris

@✧Mike Flatbird (Mike Blackbird)✧ i just proved you incorrect

what now

@✧Mike Flatbird (Mike Blackbird)✧ sure i did

the ephemeris doesn't use just patterns

Each ephemeris was produced by numerical integration of the equations of motion, starting from a set of initial conditions.

The physics modeled included the mutual Newtonian gravitational accelerations and their relativistic corrections (a modified form of the Einstein-Infeld-Hoffmann equation), the accelerations caused by the tidal distortion of the Earth, the accelerations caused by the figure of the Earth and Moon, and a model of the lunar librations.[3]

this proves the model correct

gravity heliocentric, all of it

got any debunk of htis?

b/c it works

i'm using this right now to point a telescope at Mars

no patterns necessary

yes

but usually ppl talk more intelligently than you
