Thread Name: BS: Why Newton was wrong - slightly
Subject: RE: BS: Why Newton was wrong - slightly
One of the neater demolitions of crankery is the refutation of a Russian wacko who thinks a whole century in the Dark Ages (600-700, I think) didn't happen. The reason why he's wrong is... astrology. The oldest horoscope surviving is from about 100AD. It shows the planets exactly where conventional astrodynamics puts them. No missing century of celestial motions.
