Mate, check out kepler's 3rd law, i think it is, re harmony. The golden mean is all about the proportions as expressed in integers by n/ n-1 of the Fibonacci sequence. Kepler was a warlock who believed in odd creatures that live on the moon and spouted the theory of universal gravitation before...

Right, so you are saying a satellite may drift offcourse for various reasons, such as solar flares, perturbations and whatnot. When it does, we can re-align it either based on predictive models or otherwise after the fact, using its on board fuel in both instances. I have had the pleasure of...

Just looking for evidence, if it exists. How do we know about these movements apart from theoretically?

Thanks for the analysis. You appear to suggest that the to and fro minuscule nature of the perturbations will cancel out making rotation uniform and constant for purposes of satellite synch. 1. Is there any evidence that the claimed perturbations occur at all? 2. If so, would a time lapse...

Would the movement be so slight as to mean that no re-alignment would be necessary?

I am told that the Earth's rotation is inconstant and unpredictable. If that's the case, then how do geosynchronous satellites, such as weather satellites, stay so well aligned? Thanks
