Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Hi Dave, I'm definitely interested in these fascinating ideas, and have just ordered the book from Amazon. Free shipping, so it probably won't arrive for at least a week. After I've spent time with the book I'd like to discuss these ideas more. I hope Julia Cybele is reading your post, because she has looked into the importance of Arcturus in relation to the zodiac, but I don't even know if Arcturus is a possible candidate as a binary twin for our Sun. The author has apparently isolated Sirius for that role. I hope to have more of a mathematical understanding of precession after I read the book. The concept of four ages (or eight, four each for ascending and descending) is a common component of Indian thought and Vedic teaching. The most fascinating idea for me is that scientists cannot find the math in the earth's wobble to account for precession. Can't wait to read the book!

The author > has apparently isolated Sirius for that role.... Oh yes, I do still follow the posts here and have often wondered about the possibility of a binary companion for our Sun. Arcturus is nearly 37 light-years from us, and my impression is that this distance would be huge for a genuine orbital system, meaning several orders of magnitude. The force of attraction between two orbiting bodies diminishes with the square of the distance. Most of the orbital periods for catalogued binaries are much shorter than our platonic year; the largest one I could find was an estimated 3600 years for Alpha Herculis. Anyway, if I understand it correctly, the precession seems purely a wobble of the earth's axis and not of the solar system as a whole. Maybe the causes are more internal than related to an undiscovered binary companion of the sun... but who knows? Arcturus was interesting to consider because of Cayce's mention of it, and there is an ununsual amount of proper motion, mostly perpendicular to the ecliptic plane. From the standpoint of ecliptic coordinates, its longitudinal position is about as stable as that of Spica, though it seems hard to consider Arcturus as a fiducial star when it is so distant from the ecliptic. I've been interested in identifying low proper motion stars nearly on the ecliptic, which could serve as reasonably good measuring points over long spans of time. There are a few, in fact. Lately I've been setting up a better model to study all the 1000+ stars catalogued by Claudius Ptolemy to get a better figure for his presumed or effective zero-point. It's rather different from any used by the Babylonians, whose work he must have examined. That's a bit puzzling. Some sources claim that Ptolemy simply added 160 arcmin to longitudes given by Hipparchos, which is in turn inconsistent with other claims that Hipparchos used a zero point near Zeta Piscium. Finding sources closer to " original " might resolve that... well, that's why I love to keep an eye on the comments expressed here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
