Hi David,

Of course there are problems with a request for such a serious reconciliation, 
and it is certainly way beyond my scientific understanding to attempt such an 
in-depth discourse, but I might ask:  How easily was the Copernican system 
_reconciled_ with the old Ptolemaic (earth-centered) model?   

Though I am not being much help, your question is important and I appreciate 
your frustration.
