I'm not so sure about that median. I remember that science by vote said the spiral nebulae were inside our own galaxy. Predicting the evolution of Delta T remains akin to predicting the weather in the core of the earth, the amount of sea level rise, etc. I now have a framework for presenting the Delta T estimates that I know, and for continuing the discussion. This web page lays them out http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/leapsecs/year2100.html If anyone's favorite estimate for Delta T is missing then kindly point out the citation for its values. -- Steve Allen <[email protected]> WGS-84 (GPS) UCO/Lick Observatory--ISB Natural Sciences II, Room 165 Lat +36.99855 1156 High Street Voice: +1 831 459 3046 Lng -122.06015 Santa Cruz, CA 95064 http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/ Hgt +250 m _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] https://pairlist6.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
