New model of the solar system: an applied epistemological view

Image result for New model of the solar system: an applied epistemological view

 

Our assumptions about the Solar System are based on historical conventions not present reality. The way we categorise stars, planets and moons is quite wrong and we refuse to put it right because we all grew up with a completely misleading 'map' of what is actually out there and we're damned well not changing now. Even if you grew up to be a Professor of Astrophysics. They're just as soppy as you are. Finally, at last, and with infinite patience, that great simplifier, M J Harper, tells you the way it is. Unless you are a Professor of Astrophysics. They won't be told. NTSC format. Suitable for the USA and Canada.
