KEPLER'S LAW DOES NOT DESCRIBE REALITY by Peter Bros however, that using the astronomical peri- helion and aphelion (January and July), computed by assuming Kepler's Law applies to the Earth's orbit, will overstate the Sun's speed by approx. 80 per cent. With the Sun moving toward the winter solstice, Dl, the distance the Earth travels between the winter and summer solstices is shorter than D2, the distance the Earth trav- els between the summer and winter sol- stices. Because the Earth's rate is equal in both periods, D1 divided by the time it takes to move from the winter to the sum- mer solstice equals D2 divided by the time it takes to move from the summer to the winter solstice. Dl and D2 can be expressed in terms of V, the velocity of the Sun. DI equals the distance of the bisected Earth's orbit (pi*D/2), minus the time it takes for Earth to move between the winter and summer solstices, multiplied by V. D2 equals the distance of the bisected Earth's orbit, plus the time it takes for the Earth to move between the summer and winter solstices, multiplied by V. Substituting these values for DI and D2 solves the equation for V, the velocity of the Sun. The movement of the Sun accounts for the precession of the vernal equinox, cur- rently scientifically explained by wobble, as well as Tycho Brahe's unexplained find- ing that the Moon travels faster in the sum- mer than the winter. It isn't travelling faster; it is travelling at a uniform rate over the shorter distance between the winter and summer solstices and the longer distance between the summer and winter solstices. The Sun's movement is what gives the planetary orbit the appearance of being an ellipse—the Earth's actual path being a helix less than 1 per cent from the plane of solar system movement. Because the Sun is dragging the planets through space, historical forces aren't suffi- cient to explain orbiting. As Newton based his proof of the inverse square law on his- torical forces producing Kepler's Law, we may have to rethink why objects fall.
