Thread: What are all the 2012 predictions?

The sun always wobbles around the center of mass of the solar system. Most of the time the center of mass of the solar system is outside the sun, so the sun orbits it. The Mayans new this and most astronomers to this day don't know this. i am glad that you guys are talking about this. As the planets align in different ways the sun wobbles in different ways. It is interesting to me how you guys are calculating the gravitational pull on the sun from different planets. Cool. It would be nice to see a list of order of gravitational pull from most to least. I also would like to see a time-lapse computer simulation of the sun's wobble and the orbits of the planets, calculating the gravitational effect on the Earth, or each planet, but namely the Earth from moment to moment.

Yeah, they don't know it even though its one of the methods used to determine if there are planets orbiting a star. Right.

Some know it. But ask an astronomer. 8 times out of 10 they don't know it. Guarantied. It makes complete sense though. But that is NOT how they determine if there are planets orbiting a star. It makes sense that you wou.d say that, but the center of mass is usually not because of the existence of planets. You are just assuming that in order to laugh at me, but planets are not most of the mass that orbits a star. Find out what it is first, then.... do what you want.
