And given that magnitude of influence propagate in proportion to the inverse square of the distance, it’s effects would be mitigated by a factor of 70 billion compared to those of the sun by virtual of mere distance alone, right?
You realize it is not just the distance but the intervening interstellar medium that blocks and homogenizes flares of distant stars, right? In almost everything a start emits besides light and gravity, interstellar medium acts as a blanket, So the material of the nearest star’s flare would run into interstellar medium and be brought to a stop before it has even covered 1/2000th the distance between the nearest star and earth, right?
You realize science is not just like the vapid Quran over which you can have another one of your idiotic Quranic reflections, right? It actually has facts behind it that you must learn, and specific, concrete, testable relationships that you must understand, right?
I believe in the domino-effect, or in other words: the scientific concept that is called "The Butterfly Effect", and I quote the scientific landmark of the chaos theory:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect
Quote:The idea that small causes may have large effects in weather was earlier acknowledged by French mathematician and engineer Henri Poincaré. American mathematician and philosopher Norbert Wiener also contributed to this theory. Lorenz's work placed the concept of instability of the Earth's atmosphere onto a quantitative base and linked the concept of instability to the properties of large classes of dynamic systems which are undergoing nonlinear dynamics and deterministic chaos.[4]
Read my bold again and again. Science did say that the Butterfly Effect is a true valid probability.
So even if the planets' orbits had tiny microscopic changes, the change would reach you. Or:
Quote:"...whatever we do affects everything and everyone else, if even in the tiniest way. Why, when a housefly flaps his wings, a breeze goes round the world."
You misunderstand the Butterfly Effect. Both Wiener and Lorentz were careful to state that the effect only applies to the same system. While it’s true that small perturbations in a system can have a cascade that effects greater changes in the system, a butterfly flapping its wings doesn’t determine what I have for breakfast.
Similarly, the positions (and perturbations in those positions) don’t affect daily decisions and personality traits.
But none of your ‘reasons’ for believing in astrology matter. In the final analysis, if a methodology is based on a false premise, then the methodology is hopelessly flawed. Astrology is based on geocentrism, which we know to be false. Therefore, astrology is bunk.
