VPNEWS PARTING THOUGHTS (II) To continue from where we left off last time, Vigyan Prasar can really make a difference to the overall science popularisation scene in the country! It has all the essential ingredients, in the form of major programmes/efforts, I mentioned last time, to transform itself into a powerhouse of incredible and unimaginable strengths capable of delivering unheard of results! Each one of the VP's major programmes referred to earlier, if handled appropriately, could develop into an independent, self-sustaining entity in its own right, under the overall VP umbrella, with greatly enhanced output. What would that mean in terms of the goals we are seeking to achieve? Vigyan Prasar books would also be distributed worldwide in many countries and also in many other non-Indian languages. Dream-2047 would develop into a very popular science magazine with a large circulation and several other language editions, besides Hindi and English. .

62. The Homocentric Spheres Of Eudoxus

A Revolution of Thought: The Homocentric Spheres of Eudoxus To appreciate the significance of their achievements, we must first throw ourselves back 2500 years and look at the sky through ancient eyes, setting aside our current view of the universe. We must disregard our heliocentric model and throw away the outer three planets of the solar system, for they cannot be seen with the naked eye and optical aids like telescopes do not exist. Forget basic Newtonian mechanics, ignore the current understanding of gravity, and toss out the knowledge that the planets are all made of the same matter as the earth. We must temporarily erase from our mind the pictures of Earth taken from space and remember that no one in ancient Greece could see anything more than what can be observed from the ground with the naked eye. From this perspective, the night sky looks like a very different place. The Sun is now a very unique object, not just one star among billions. The Moon is the only object that shows any surface features, the other planets being points of light far more similar to stars than anything else in the heavens. From our vantage point on Earth, the heavens appear to revolve around us as the stars rotate east to west with the sun lagging just slightly behind (Fig. 1).

On the question of the "Revised Julian Calendar"
Father George Lardas (From an Orthodox Discussion List) The matter of the "Revised Julian Calendar" has recently been raised on this list and has generated some discussion. Since some were wondering about its relation to the traditional calendar of the Church, the Julian Calendar, on the one hand, and the Gregorian Calendar on the other, as well as the question of their astronomical accuracy, I thought the following might be helpful: As everyone knows, the year is about 365 and a quarter days long. This is, however, only an approximation. We are concerned here with the seasonal, or tropical year, the average time from vernal equinox (the beginning of spring) to vernal equinox. The more accurate figure is 365.2422 days, a figure close to that known to the ancient Greek astronomers (Callippus, Ptolemy, et al). The Julian Calendar, the Church's traditional calendar, has 365 days in a year and an extra day added once every fourth year to February, making an average year length of 365.25 days. When the Church chose this as her own calendar at the Council of Nicaea (AD 325), the vernal equinox fell on 21 March. But since the Julian year is 0.0078 days longer than the true year, over a span of time 21 March will occur later than the astronomical equinox at the rate of about one day in 128 years. By 1582, when Pope Gregory XIII changed the calendar, 21 March fell 10 days after the astronomical event. He adjusted the calendar by omitting 10 days from that year, so that the following year the astronomical equinox would fall on 21 March again, and he also adjusted the rule for leap years to keep the calendar date from drifting away from the astronomical event. This is accomplished by dropping a leap day every centennial year (those divisible by 100), but retaining the leap day every year divisible by 400. In other words, the years 1700, 1800, and 1900 are not leap years in the Gregorian calendar, but the years 1600 and 2000 are leap years. To obtain the average length of the Gregorian year, we must subtract from the Julian year three days in four hundred years

DESCRIPTION : Insofar as it is a search for understanding, the search for meaning is a search for knowledge. Knowledge understood is obtained by the intellect, by reason and observation, and concepts are the means by which it is expressed. The first of three pages on Concepts (one of the Field Nodes comprising the subject tree of The Telson Spur ), this page is a list of links to on-line resources in philosophy. The coordinate pages, with a common header and List of Contents , contain links to resources in science studies and in the history and philosophy of science, and to resources in the dialogue of science with religion and in palaetiology, ( i.e. , historical science, broadly construed).

  • Ex stone cutter turned philosopher
  • Represents a watershed in Greek philosophy; turned philosophical discussion from cosmological questions of the 5th and 6th century to questions of political and ethical concerns
Plato of Athens (428 - 348 B.C.)
  • Two-sphere concept, Earth as one sphere, surrounded by second set of spheres - the celestial realm
  • Set task, according to Simplicius, of finding out "the uniform and ordered motions by the assumption of which the apparent movements of the planets can be accounted for"
  • Aesthetic argument based on symmetry; apparently reasoned that celestial realm was arrayed on perfect geometric figure, the sphere, with planets moving in perfectly symmetric plane figure, the circle
  • Generations of astronomers thought that planetary movements must be accounted for by combinations of uniform circular motions with Earth at center
  • The ultimate product of geocentric cosmology was the Ptolemaic system.

Astrónomo Autodidacta.
Nació en Cyzicus Asia Menor aproximadamente el 370 a.C. y murió hacia el 310 a.C. y se tiene noticia que Callippus de Cyzicus trabajo con Aristóteles hacia 330 a.C. Estudió en la escuela de Eudoxo y realizó observaciones astronómicas en el Helesponto. Su trabajo con Aristóteles en parte consistió en corregir y completar los descubrimientos de Eudoxo. Realizó determinaciones precisas sobre la duración de las estaciones y construyó un ciclo de 76 años que comprendían 940 meses para armonizar los años lunares y solares, este calendario fue adoptado en el 330 a.C. y utilizado por astrónomos posteriores. El calendario de Calipo esta basado en el periodo metódico ( siete años de 13 meses lunares y doce años de 12 meses lunares), diseñado por Metón (nacido alrededor del 460 a.C). El periodo Calípico es un ciclo de 4 periodos metónicos siendo mas preciso que este porque corregía la duración del año (365.25 días) que tenia un error en los cálculos de Metón (365 días). De esta manera el ciclo Calípico comprendía 4 x 235 días, o 940 meses lunares reduciendo la duración de los cuatro ciclos metónicos en un día. El total de días entonces quedó en (441 x 29) + (499 x 30), o 27,759 y 27,759 / (19 x 4) da 365.25 días. De esta manera Calipo hizo coincidir 940 meses lunares con 76 años tropicales de 365.25 días. Calipo en asocio a Aristóteles introdujo un sistema de 34 esferas para explicar el movimiento de los cuerpos celestes. El Sol, la Luna, Mercurio, Venus y Marte cada uno tenía cinco esferas, mientras que Júpiter, Saturno tenían 4 y las estrellas una. Esta adición de una esfera al sistema de Eudoxo aumentó la precisión de la teoría que exponía que los planetas se movían en círculo perfectos.
