Ellipses

When the sun rises, they gather together And lie down in their dens.

(Psalms 104:22) NKJV

Kepler’s 1st law is empirical, that’s to say, based on direct observation. The thing is, the observation isn’t heliocentricity. Direct observation tells us that the sun is at ONE focus of elliptical planetary orbits. Here’s why this is important:

In the diagram of Kepler’s laws above it says other focus empty. Let’s ask this: If we left an exam answer sheet empty would we pass the test? It’s an arbitrary choice to designate the other focus empty. Here’s what you need to get your head around:

Heliocentric (sun worship) or Geocentrospheric?

• IF you were on the Sun you’d be observing heliocentricity,
• SINCE you’re not, you’re on the Earth, you’re observing Geocentrosphericity.

Kepler made his observations from the Earth. The planetary system he was observing was observed to orbit the Earth every day. That means that the Earth is the second focus. Kepler couldn’t identify the second focus because he was standing on it. This exposes a critical weakness in the SciPop paradigm. It’s like a small thermal exhaust port.

The popular science (SciPop) explanation of Kepler’s laws doesn’t include a second source of gravity. According to SciPop, f₁ and f₂ are just the geometric points of the ellipse. They’re just there because the orbit is elliptical. There are more elaborate explanations about the curvature of space and gravity wells but they’re entirely fictitious. They aren’t testable hypotheses so they aren’t scientific.

Even though Kepler’s laws are empirical, SciPop doesn’t have a reason for why, and the accepted explanation for it is a load of dingo’s kidneys. It’s one of the leaps of faith made in SciPop which it conveniently doesn’t mention.

Direct observation from Earth is that the planets appear to have elliptical orbits around the Sun. We observe this planetary system orbit the Earth every day. That means that the Earth is f₁, the Sun is f₂ in the elliptical orbits.
