Hi, Dexter;You don't appear to understand the concepts you're tossing around here. The ecliptic plane is the 2-dimensional surface defined by the earth's orbit around the sun. All the planets in the solar system define similar planes, all within a few degrees of the ecliptic. The sun's apparent path across the sky follows the ecliptic, and if you project the plane out onto the stars it runs through the middle of the zodiac, which is defined as a band 9 degrees to either side of it. The earth's rotational axis is tilted 23½ degrees to the plane of the ecliptic, which is what defines the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn on the planet. They are the points farthest north and south of the equator where the sun can appear directly overhead. If the earth's rotational axis had shifted by 26 degrees to 49 degrees with respect to the ecliptic, as you're claiming, the apparent positions of all stars, planets, the sun, and the moon, would also have shifted by 26 degrees.
I have a little astronomy program called Skyglobe that shows the night sky on my monitor here based on the coordinates I give it for my location. It predates this supposed axis shift, so what it shows me ought to be different by 26 degrees from what I see when I step into my backyard at night and look up. It's not. You're wrong.
I will admit right from the start that I have no knowledge of my own, I depend on someone elses studies.
Your logical explanation seems to make sense to me, BUT what I read yesterday in Safari's link sounded also convincing. What am I to believe now?
I've been on this earth for a while, but never heard of any big change of the earth's position. Of course, if it is a very minute change over a long time period, we might not notice it for a while. Scientists might with their instruments, and isn't that what Safari is trying to tell us?
As I said, I don't know any of this stuff, but am now curious as to who of the two of you has it right?
