    Paradox
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the Precession-Time Paradox and whether a solution exists. Participants express skepticism about claims made in the provided links, particularly regarding the Earth's axial precession and the concept of a "reference star." There is a consensus that the precession of the equinoxes is due to the wobble of the Earth's axis, contradicting the claims made in the sources. Concerns are raised about the lack of clear mathematical explanations, likening them to numerology and astrology. Overall, the discussion reflects a critical view of the proposed solutions to the paradox.

Looks like it means what it looks like. Division.
 
i didnt know ÷ is division, i know that this "/" is division.
 
Both symbols are used in the US, but the first one (I don't even know how to make it) is mostly used in elementary arithmetic texts.
 
it's a hebrew letter pronounced "kouf", like "k".
my keyboard is hebrew and english that's why i could type the letter.

any thoughts about the paradox?
 
Weird, I've never hear of this.
 
The first site says
The Earth's axis does not gyrate around the pole of the ecliptic. In the period Tprec the Sun, together with the Earth and its Moon, revolves around a reference star that would play the role of a central sun to our entire solar system

This is bunk, probably from some wing of astrology. The precession of the equinoxes is precisely due to what this text denies, the wobble of the Earth's axis over time. There is no "reference star".
 
I think the reference star that was spoken of was any very far away star that could serve as a reference point. However I too have skepticism about these claims because the numbers and math introduced are not explained and reminds me of numberology and astrology too.
