I am looking for more questioning of the mechanism of precession of the Equinox. Just as Copernicus came forth with a better explanation of the motion of the planets than old Ptolemy did, some have looked at precession and how it is far too complicated at present, besides not explaining everything we see in precession. If the sun were one component of a binary star, precession could be explained simply in the spirit of Copernicus. This is as exciting as learning that the Hubble volume is 10^-18 of the volume of the universe by the Big Bang model.
