Our best descriptions about what happens around us are descriptions. The descriptions are not what is happening.

The idea of a solar system is a description. The Copernicus and Newton descriptions were the best we had at the time for the solar system. The description that Einstein added to the solar system made the description more accurate. It is still a description.

An interesting addition to this description is the precessing of inclination of the earth's rotation on axis. Evidently this precession is one 23,000 years long and effects climate. My understanding is that this was proposed first by a Russian scientist.

Thank you for examining what I presented.

Food for thought:

"Regardless of different personal views about science, no credible understanding of the natural world or our human existence…can ignore the basic insights of theories as key as evolution, relativity, and quantum mechanics." - The Dalai Lama
