#668099 — Names.

Our solar system should have a name, to distinguish it from all the 
other solar systems.

It's usually called "the Terran" or "Terra".

We live on Terra-prime or Terra-3, it's called Earth, pretty simple.

Most solar systems are distinguished by numbers.
There's what's called a catalog of the sky survey,
astronomical catalog(s).

You might like a book like "Star Lore" which helps describe
the many common names of stars and thus their system visible
from Earth.

For example the Pleiades or Sisters have the same names among
cultures on both sides of the Atlantic since from before the
Flood, and about that though today the Pole Star or Polaris
is the pole star, it's drifted about a few degrees since
about 15,000 years ago.


Yeah, that's a good point, though.

No.  "Terra" is a (arguably a mostly language-neutral, thus astronomically
more feasible) name for the planet that is called "Earth" in English instead.

> We live on Terra-prime or Terra-3, it's called Earth,

No, the Sol(ar) System is NOT called "Earth".  "Earth" is the name for a
planet, NOT a planetary system.

"Terra-3" is NOT proper astronomical naming.  Planets are numbered after the
stars that they orbit, from closer to it than farther away from it, and one
uses _Roman_ numerals to number them.  The star that Terra orbits is Sol, so
the correct designation for the former would be "Sol III".

"Terra Prime" instead is a name used *in science-fiction and fantasy* to
refer to Earth as the home planet of humans, indicating that there is a
similar planet either in our universe (sometimes called "Earth 2") or in
parallel universes in which sometimes the story happens as well.

> Most solar systems are distinguished by numbers.

There is only one Sol(ar) System.  Other planetary systems, i.e. systems of
exoplanets, are typically named after their primary (star) which in turn is
often named after the astronomical project/group that investigated it and,
perhaps, the respective planetary system, too.  For example, TRAPPIST-1 is a
star (the first one) that was investigated by a Belgian team of astronomers
(who, tongue-in-cheek, chose an acronym such that it would refer to the
renowned Belgian beer style as brewed by and after the fashion of the
Trappists, an order of Catholic monks).

The "prime" appellation is usually "the habitable planet".

Or, you know, the planet in the habitable zone,
of which there is usually not more than one,
though it's course imaginable that in a multitude
of worlds that intelligent life could develop on
warmer or colder or various chemically worlds
than that of Terra, Gaia, Urth, Earth, this
blue-green gem in an icy field of stars.

Parking lot, ....

Of course "multiple worlds hypothesis" is
non-scientific non-explanation of contingency,
given usual notions of a clock hypothesis and
the laws of physics being the same everywhere,
then that a "multitude of worlds" is a usual
enough notion since antiquity of intelligent
life in the universe after things like the Drake
equation, Sullivan's "Are We Not Alone",
Fontenelle's "Conversations on the Plurality of
Worlds", von Daniken, stories since antiquity,
and so on.

Much like "multiple worlds hypothesis" in physics
is unfalsifiable by definition thus non-scientific,
then also "pluralism" is not to be confused with
"plurality of inhabited worlds", where "pluralism"
is non-mathematical.


The sky survey offers examples of apparent
super-luminal motion.  So, ..., notions like
"The Macroscope" aren't without inherent
scientific merit.


Did you know the Batavia-Baikal neutrinophone
essentially communicates in real time, ....


Ever notice that Barnard's Star moves, ....


A lot's been learned about Lyman lines and
spectra since Rayleigh-Jeans, about ye olde
hydrogen line, and "standard candles".



Apparent superluminal motion falsifies usual
naive accounts of the light speed limit,
so, ....

No.  "prime" *literally* means "the first" or "number one", from Latin
/primus/.

The "_many_ worlds" _interpretation_ of quantum mechanics is something very
different.

It does not have to do with planets /per se/, but other (parallel)
universes: In this interpretation, possible measurement outcomes that were
however not observed in our universe/reality are realized, and thus would be
observed, in other ("parallel") universes/realities that have the same space
as ours.

There is not only one ("the") sky survey, thus your statement is useless.

Nobody even said it would be:

It does move because it has a planet (and three other planets).  But that
was not confirmed before the 2024 (and 2025).

The subject of this discussion are the names and designations of celestial
objects.  You are missing the point and are babbling incoherently, moving
from one topic to an unrelated next one, like a mentally ill person:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_salad>

Hm. I dispute that and suggest instead that you don't
have already the context where what I emit is quite
thoroughly sound and valid and the connections are clear.
Then, when you say that the only result you get from
reading it as crazy, I read that as simply being bereft
of context, then that your reaction is rejection. Then,
as we recall the more extended conversation and all the
matters of scientific fact and definition where you've either
decided or felt compelled to simply enter catatonia instead
of rejection, like about the 1/2/3 or the premier theories
being falsified, I wonder that the only way that you can
consider a critical sort of account of matters of perceived
fact is as of insanity, how brittle and desperate your own
grasp on it must be.



Here for example there's a modal, temporal, relevance logic
in a super-classical setting of the idealistic and analytical
traditions, with the "axiomless" after principles of inversion
and sufficient, _and thorough_, reason, instead of non-contradiction
and merely-inductive reason, resulting an axiomless mono-heno-theory
the includes thusly arriving at geometry, that's always going to
be True, as it's a theory of Truth where Truth is what's both
elementary and conserved, as a sort of pick-it-up-and-put-it-down
theory, it's always available and demands the least and gives the most.


Everyone here has sat at least a lot of a standard linear
curriculum, for example getting a degree or for example
regularly intructing material according to a standard
sort of account of a standard sort of linear curriculum,
here the above is considered a greater one.


So, besides the ideas 1/2/3 about Dark Matter and Dark Energy
having definitely falsified premier theories, then about
the unexplained empirical observations after Magnus effect
of the gyroscopic effects into ballistics and other usual
naive account of the rotational, then as was mentioned
"apparent super-luminal motion" isn't anything except
obviously that, then here for somebody to explain how
physics isn't broken and the world remains real according
to there being a "the laws of physics" same everywhere,
I definitely have an account of that.


I think what might help fellow researchers in foundations
the most is making sure when making logic to reject and omit
the "quasi-modal" aspects like "material implication", which
is immune to inductive reasoning yet has many examples of
being wrong besides just the temporal and modal and relevance
logic itself, and to make it so that it's a relevance logic.


Then, knowing that using these terms, I eschew the quasi-modal,
then it's reflected that what I write has a very, very
comprehensive connectedness, and a thorough sort of wholeness.


Consider for example the "T-theory, A-theory, theatheory" thread
from a few months ago - it's at least a "theory of everything" starting
with "theory of theory".

1. You have posted to sci.physics.relativity.  This is off-topic here.
   You should have posted to <news:alt.astronomy>.  Next time, check

   doubly so.

3. It is required that the "From" header field of your posting contains
   an e-mail address.  "clowd@nimbus.net.inv" is not because there is no
   top-level domain ".inv", but there could be in the future.  See also
   RFC 5536 "NetNews Article Format".

4. "Solar System" *is* the official name used by the International
   Astronomical Union (IAU), and the preceding is the recommended
   spelling.  However, I grant you that since the (yet unfinished?)
   redesign of the IAU Web site, it is even more difficult to find it
   there.[1]

   There is only one Solar System because there is only one star called Sol,
   Latin for English "the Sun" ("Sol" is derived from the Roman deity "Sol
   Invictus", "the unconquered sun"[2]; "sun" developed from Old English
   "sunne", cognate with similar words in other Germanic languages[3]),
   which is the primary of that planetary system.  Other planetary systems
   ought NOT be called "solar systems".

   Use of the name "Sol" can also be found in astronomy software, for
   example Celestia.  For that reason I prefer the name "Sol System" that is
   also found in good science-fiction.

That's ALL sound sooo confusing...
all dis talk of sol, sun, Roman days...

It was then when Caesar and Jesus Christ time...


It's not the God of the Sun that the romans were worshipping...it was

the Sun of God...the Sol of God...the Son of God.

I understand how the confusion came about..but please get dis stuff
right!

dat star in the sky everyone was following is the sol.

God is the Light.

yous are mistaken the sun of god, or god of the son, it's the son of
God!


Yous speld Sonday wrong...

then Monday.

Sunday is God day.

Solday.

Sonday.

Jesus
is
the
Sun
of
God.

To ALLOW communists to enter our hemisphere, and

give in.

He is not going to give in, but the cowards want to give in.

Here is how I would advise Trump to handle Putin...

If Putin sez to Trump..."I'LL FUCKING DROP A NUCLUER BOMB ON MANHATTAN
ISLAND AND MAKE IT LOOK LIKE GAZA!!!!"

Trump should simply respond with... "Go ahead and see what happens."

It's not so bad when it's not abused.

When it is though, misrepresentation over the Internet or
generally is perceived as a sort of enhancement to justified
penalty to crime.

Basically relying on "e-mail address", as with regards to
the association of identity with an e-mail address, many
countries have laws in effect with regards to the verification
of association of identity with an e-mail address, though that's
a bit its own protocols for digital mail-box and the post and
these kinds of things, with regards to delivery and identity.

An e-mail address ending ".invalid", which is not a valid TLD,
is somewhere though noted as a "valid invalid" way to write
an e-mail address that doesn't exist.

It's been a long time since just appending /s/ in an e-mail
was a legal signature, "signed". I.e., in the positive sense,
an e-mail address and an associated identity speaks for itself.

Someone said, long ago, that writing .inv at the end of an email would 
save people from thinking that the email was a valid one.

You have been mislead to do "address munging", thereby to violating § 3.1.2
of the Proposed Standard (as far as Network News is concerned, that is
considered a quasi-standard) RFC 5536 "Netnews Article Format"; as that is
not an e-mail address, but the "From" header field value must contain an
e-mail address:

There is a suggestion (that was never on the Standards Track) to use a
top-level domain (TLD) that was actually registered merely for testing ad
documentation purposes, .invalid, on a regular basis in the "From" header
field value in order to avoid getting e-mail spam due to e-mail addresses
being harvested from Usenet by professional spammers, and some Usenet
service providers allow that in their Terms of Use, sometimes only if a
Reply-To header field is present, too (see below):

<https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2606#section-2>
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.invalid>

However, I (and several other Usenet regulars) consider that anti-social
behavior, an abuse of that TLD (the "From" header field is specified to
contain an e-mail address so that communication would be possible in
private, too: to discuss off-topic subjects, to clarify misunderstanding
in private etc.), and either score down such postings or filter them out
entirely such that they never see/download them in the first place (I do
the latter).

Some people overlook this violation as long as a "Reply-To" header field
whose value contains an actual e-mail address (a conforming user agent will
automatically use that address when one attempts to reply in private).  I do
not, also because to my knowledge it is not possible to filter for the
Reply-To header field *before* you download the entire message (it is not
contained in the message overview list that can be obtained using NNTP that
is retrieved when one "downloads headers").
