The Theory of Relativity will begin to fall apart in 2016/2017 - Part II

Just to be pedantic, the Moon and Earth both rotate around a common CoG. IIRC, that's outside the volume of either the Earth or the Moon.

But if you must pick one to say it's orbiting, the CoG is MUCH closer to the Earth than the Moon.

It's not outside the Earth, it's within the Earth's mantle.

I looked her up. I was not disappointed. A1, first class nuttery.

I wonder how many of her beliefs Bjarne shares.

Wait, could Bjarne be a sock puppet for Nancy?!?!

Nah. From what I’ve read she lacks the patience for a long con like that.

Yep, industrial wingnuttery. She even bought a ban on godlikeproductions, which takes some doing. These days, she operates from a Ning site with closed membership. There are not many members.

Nevertheless, the parallels with Bjarnes notions are striking. In Nancy's delusion, planet X was going to swing by earth and cause apocalypse in 2003...errr 2009...err 2012...err some unspecified time in the future. Like Bjarne and his relativity schtick. And like Bjarne, she insisted that the moon does not rotate at all despite all the evidence to the contrary. Boy, that one generated some flame wars. In the end, she mooched off to the Ning site where she operates a walled garden of obscurity for those unhappy few dumb enough to give her the least time. I suspect that Bjarne's ideas will suffer the same fate, isolated to some obscure outpost of the intertubes. There is one key difference though. Nancy has followers.

This thread has obtained so much mass, it is starting to effect the space-time continuum. Please use Part III.
