    I'll just have to disagree on that. Let's get back to that vector you mentioned.

    Great. You know the vector. (Aristotle,Newton,Wessel,Argand,Gauss) Where is it pointing?

    Are you referring to measurement of the energy transfer due to tidal forces?

    I was going to try and come up with something witty, but why waste the effort on you?

    Velikovsky (as already stated) is/ was a crackpot.
    Non-scientists?
    How about the historians and philosophers?

    And the only logical interpretation is that you are either deliberately deceitful or stupid.
    Mathematics is a science, and both Newton and Einstein are acknowledged as scientists.

    BTW, I refuse to read any more of your quotes since you seem incapable or unwilling to provide sources for them.
    And it is notable that out of the three you did eventually provide links to
    1 supports your view
    1 claims another of your sources is incorrect (a point which you ignore)
    and the third you have deliberately mis-represented.
    You are either knowingly falsifying your "sources" or are too dumb to realise what they are saying.
    Either way you've demonstrated you're not worth continuing with.

    We've always been in space. We always will be in space.

    In the new spirit of forum civility, I was abbreviating for fucks sake. If I were really being civil, I would have said "Please take the hint (multiple bannings) you are not wanted here.

    Thanks.
    I wondered if it was the former name of someone posting here.

    What repeatability is there with history?
    Can you you experiment with it?
    You wouldn't recognise truth if it was pushed in front of your face.

    Welcome to your next ban, idiot.

    But the FACT is that history doesn't actually repeat - there are similarities but that's it.

    Not?
    It's one of Popper's criteria isn't it?
    If you can't repeat it it isn't science.

    So two people have done it?
    And it was measured?

    Still giving un-linked quotes?
    Did you make this one up or just misuse it?

    Still talking bollocks?
    Still going off-topic?

    History repeats? Sounds like Eliada's description of circular history.
    Please provide examples.

    No, that's only for people who don't study it.

    The presence of the moon causes drag on the Earth, because of the movement of the atmosphere and the tides, which both create frictional slowing of our world. As the rotation of the Earth slows down, the law of the conservation of angular momentum states that energy lost by one body is transferred to a nearby satellite. Hence, as I've pointed out in other threads, Earth slows down, the moon consequently gains rotational energy, Moon speeds up. Moon moves further away from Earth, slowly increasing the radius and flight-path of its orbit. The Moon moves into a higher orbit, but continues exerting a gravitational effect on the Earth, and so slows down the Earth even more, causing the Moon to keep on moving away. Hope this helps.
