Well our most up-to-date understanding of the solar system's orbits is based on general relativity. That's how we explain Mercury's precession. Is that your failure case?
- zamalek 6y agoEpicycles have nothing to do with orbits. They were state of the art science when Earth was at the center of the universe.
- thrwyoilarticle 6y agoThen we built new technology that conclusively disproved them. As a result we have sat-nav and space travel. If that's the disaster that came from building bigger telescopes, keep it coming. 'We don't believe it because it's hard to test' is not science.
- zamalek 6y agoI can't argue with that, as you are correct. I was contending your example, as the standard model is ridden with theory fitting and is a really good example of science done badly.
