“No, you are the one that said that you didn't know how to model the two stationary bodies with one rotating. However you did say that if the Sun were orbiting the Earth then it would have a 2.1 degree lag. Show that.

You will find there is no difference in the two models : ) ”

Weeeeell, I've got news for you son.....

I modeled the two stationary bodies with one rotating.

I even drew up a nice pretty picture for the primitive goat herders among us!

Here's the new and improved animated version:


While the animation may not be to scale, the math is.

So, once again, your assertion that I claimed I “didn't know how to model the two stationary bodies with one rotating” is technically a lie.

Which seems to be standard operating procedure.

Unless you can scientifically demonstrate your 2.1°, I think its time you admitted you were wrong about your 2.1°.

The only reason I can see that you wouldn't admit your 2.1° is false, is if its a religiously held belief.

Fascinating animation; the rotating image of the earth looks like a hampster wheel with a donkey doing the driving, trying to get away from the miniature poodle who has hold of the donkey’s tail while a beaver is desperately trying to overcome the force holding him in place so that he can bite the donkey in the middle of the back.

Nice little demo : )

How come you didn't provide a degree with your angle of impact?

Could it be because what you call the angle of impact is 2.1 degrees : )

Hoisted by your own petard?

Unless you can scientifically demonstrate your 2.1°, I think its time you admitted you were wrong about your 2.1°.

No need to. The animation that you provided shows the correctness of 2.1 degrees.
