Dear Brent, I think your proposals should be examined by the Organisation Overseeing Orbital Parameters (OOOPs). They would note:
> I might move the moon closer to the earth > to create better surf. Indeed it would. Total eclipses would last longer too. > Think of all the unfortunate people suffering > at the mercy of droughts or floods or typhoons > caused by the tilted axis. Wouldn't some of these unfortunate people suffer from your "better" surf? > This would also clean up the messy sundial > situation. Hillaire Belloc has something to say about messy sundials: I am a sundial. Ordinary words Cannot express my thoughts on Birds. I don't see that changing the orbital parameters would help too much with that! All the best Frank --------------------------------------------------- https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial
