We need to know that some concepts are paradigm-dependent. This means that they only apply after accepting the premise of a paradigm. We've been discussing elliptical planetary orbits, that's a heliocentric concept.
Elliptical vs. Cardioid
Conic Sections
When we ask the question: what's at the second focus in Kepler's laws there's another stock response which comes up with surprising frequency. It appears that everyone has been trained to give this answer.
Spandex Has-beens
Has-been scientists with spandex. These are washed up university lecturers who like to impress young girls and boys with how cool they are, while promoting an untestable hypothesis like it’s real science.
Garbage in = Garbage Out
People point to Newton who wrote math which shows that an ellipse can have one focus. Math is theoretical fudge which can be made into any shape you want based entirely on whatever you want to believe.
Synonymy
We have to take a step back and remember that we are on popular science turf (SciPop) when we start talking in their terms about the cosmos. SciPop wants you to believe that the stars are distant suns and galaxies.
Redshift
The main evidence for the expansion of the universe is something called redshift. Redshift is the tendency for the light of far away objects to be composed of wavelengths at the red end of the spectrum.
The Expansion of the Universe
The expansion of the universe isn't a testable hypothesis so it's not scientific. The theory is accepted because it compliments the mainstream science narrative of godless existence (SciPop).
Theory is the Scientific Word for Faith
Theory is the scientific word for faith. That's going to freak a lot of people out but it's a conclusion which has been deduced. That means it's a logically certain conclusion.
An Epidemic of Despair
Something startling is happening to middle-aged white Americans. Unlike every other age, racial and ethnic group, unlike their counterparts in other rich countries, death rates in this group have been rising, not falling.
Math is the Language of Faith
The story of Babylon (Babel) shows us that having a universal language is dangerous. It gives us the power to do things which would be otherwise impossible. Guess what? Math is a universal language. Go figure.
