This thread is entirely speculative and should be treated as such. I am posting this idea to seek views and opinions on this hypothetical scenario I
have been working on.
My recent research into the structures at Giza - in particular the 2 sets of so-called 'Queens Pyramids' ('precession markers) - has led me to the
view that the rate of precession was apparently observed to have been much slower in former times and has gradually been increasing in speed ever
since. The presently accepted lunisolar model of precession cannot account for this 'seemingly apparent' increase in the rate of precession.
I am SPECULATING here that the lunisolar model of precession might in fact be wrong and that the perceived "wobble" of the Earth tracing a
precessional circle around the celestial pole might also be wrong. Wrong also might be the length of the Platonic or "Great Year". Let me
It seems everything in our universe develops and moves according to a fixed set of laws. Vital to this development and motion is the "Fibonacci
spiral". It seems just about everything around us in the physical universe conforms to this "law". Everything from galaxies to the petals on a
flower, to sea-shells:

Fig. 2: Spiral Cone Flower:
Fig. 3: Spiral Sea-Shell:
Fig. 4: Spiral Precession:
If we are moving towards the centre of the spiral then the precessional arcs or loops within the spiral are becoming ever smaller (in relation to the
background stars), thus the rate of precession would seemingly appear to be speeding up or slowing down. The speed, however, most likely remains
constant (more or less) but each precessional cycle may be longer or shorter than the previous cycle depending on whether we are spiralling towards
the spiral centre (smaller loops) or away from the spiral centre (larger loops). This would then give the ILLUSION that the rate of precession is
speeding up - which is what we are in fact observing today. The Earth's polar axis is merelt tracing ever decresing circles which gives the illusion
that precession is speeding up - it takes less and less time to complete one full cycle as the spiral circles are becoming less and less as we near
the centre of the spiral.
If precession was not a simple circle (caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun) but actually a spiral over a much much longer time
period, how might this affect what we know and think we understand today? How might this, for instance, affect the Earth's climate over long periods
Hope this leads to a lively and enjoyable discussion.
