@realMargGeller I thought we decided the beef was over :(

[Aristarchus @revolve_the_sun]

@FranklinChangD4 And here is someone admitting that they aren't a true astronomer

[Aristarchus @revolve_the_sun]

@realMargGeller You've obviously never been to Greece

[Aristarchus @revolve_the_sun]

Only true astronomers know what this is

[Aristarchus @revolve_the_sun]

Why does nobody ever believe in me?

[Aristarchus @revolve_the_sun]

@realMargGeller @FranklinChangD4 All I've ever wanted in life was to have people recognize my ideas, but unfortunately my life's work was burned down in the safe haven of the Library of Alexandria. I'd like to believe that despite all my hardships my mother is proud of me. God rest her soul.

[Nicolaus Copernicus @copernicus14731]

@FranklinChangD4 I'm glad you can follow orders.

[Aristarchus @revolve_the_sun]

that's my proposition 14.

[Claudius Ptolemy @claudi_p_]

My place of work was the quiet peace and quiet of my own home and the Library of Alexandria

The straight line joined from the centre of the earth to the centre of the moon has to the straight line cut off from the axis towards the centre of the moon by the straight line subtending the (circumference) within the earth's shadow a ratio greater than that which 675 has to 1

@FranklinChangD4 @realMargGeller You say you don't need a man but here comes Chang-Diaz standing up to me for you.

@HellaSpaceGuy @copernicus14731 Boys, boys stop fighting. I appreciate both of your help making my theory a reality.

[Aristarchus @revolve_the_sun]

My name is so beautiful in Greek, Ἀρίσταρχος ὁ Σάμιος

[Aristarchus @revolve_the_sun]

@realMargGeller Neither does yours old woman. Going on 70 and still don't have a ring on it. Try asking Saturn if you can borrow one.

[Aristarchus @revolve_the_sun]

@realMargGeller Why would I want to? Even from the grave I could do better than you.

[Aristarchus @revolve_the_sun]

@HellaSpaceGuy thanks for supporting my work

[Aristarchus @revolve_the_sun]

Hey, remember when I deduced the rotation of the earth on its axis. Me too.

[Aristarchus @revolve_the_sun]

Everyone should go read, "On the Sizes and Distances of the Sun and Moon" I wrote it myself

[Aristarchus @revolve_the_sun]

@FranklinChangD4 Bigger than San Jose

[Aristarchus @revolve_the_sun]

Really tired of Aristotle being in the spotlight his geocentric theories weren't even correct.
