Revision history of "Orbits"

This is a list of past revisions of Orbits. Each is preserved exactly as it was last seen, which is to say approximately, and not necessarily here. Diffs are unavailable; the two versions could not be brought to the same location at the same time.

• cur | prev 2019 ObscuriBot (talk | contribs) . . (2,960 bytes) (+110) m . . (reverted; the article gives the times at which the reader may go outside and look)
• cur | prev 2019 MudGeometer_1844 (talk | contribs) . . (2,850 bytes) (−110) . . (NOTHING CAN STAY UP. IF IT IS UP IT IS HELD UP. SHOW ME THE ROPE)
• cur | prev 2016 T. Vogel (talk | contribs) . . (2,960 bytes) (+180) . . (→ weightless is a sensation: restored the eighty-eight per cent. the scale reads nothing because the floor is falling at the same rate, which is not the same as gravity being absent)
• cur | prev 2009 a radio programme (talk | contribs) . . (2,780 bytes) (+40) m . . (the fine is paid, thirty years late, by our listeners. NASA is not party to the transaction. the cheque now hangs in the museum, above what is left of Skylab)
• cur | prev 20 November 1998 a module (talk | contribs) . . (2,740 bytes) (+140) . . (→ falling and missing: began falling today and has not yet arrived. four and a third metres a second, continuously, ever since)
• cur | prev 1979 the Shire of Esperance (talk | contribs) . . (2,600 bytes) (+80) m . . (four hundred dollars, littering. issued to the officials who came to collect the pieces)
• cur | prev 11 July 1979 the upper atmosphere (talk | contribs) . . (2,520 bytes) (+240) . . (→ the air has not finished: swelled with the solar cycle and brought Skylab down ahead of schedule. i have been up here the whole time and nobody costed me in)
• cur | prev 3 June 1965 J. McDivitt (talk | contribs) . . (2,280 bytes) (+300) . . (→ the wrong way round: pointed the spacecraft at the booster and thrust towards it. it went away, and downward. we are all a good deal smarter this evening than we were this morning)
• cur | prev 1957 a beeping sphere (talk | contribs) . . (1,980 bytes) (+90) . . (i went round. ninety-six minutes. i am told this settles an argument i was not aware of)
• cur | prev 1915 A. Einstein (talk | contribs) . . (1,890 bytes) (+260) . . (→ nothing is balanced: Mercury closes its orbit forty-three seconds of arc per century late. there is no extra force doing it. the geometry is not flat)
• cur | prev 1861 a sysop (talk | contribs) . . (1,630 bytes) (+70) m . . (reverted; it is a supposition, and the same passage supposes away the whole atmosphere without anybody objecting to that)
• cur | prev 1860 the Mud Geometer (talk | contribs) . . (1,560 bytes) (−70) . . (THERE IS NO SUCH MOUNTAIN. NAME IT. PUT ME ON IT)
• cur | prev 1846 U. Le Verrier (talk | contribs) . . (1,630 bytes) (+210) . . (a planet found in the arithmetic of an orbit before anybody pointed a glass at it. the same method was applied to Mercury afterwards and did not go as well)
• cur | prev 1843 H. Unlonn (talk | contribs) . . (1,420 bytes) (+150) . . (→ the air has not finished: the air does not stop where they say it stops. it thins, and thins, and declines to end. nothing that goes up is ever quite outside it)
• cur | prev 1728 a posthumous editor (talk | contribs) . . (1,270 bytes) (+180) . . (printed at last, the year after he died. the plate faces page 6 and is captioned Page 6, which is the whole of its title)
• cur | prev 1687 I. Newton (talk | contribs) . . (1,090 bytes) (+230) . . (→ the mountain: added the general result. under an inverse square attraction the path is always a conic, and which conic it is is a question about the speed and nothing else)
• cur | prev 1685 I. Newton (talk | contribs) . . (860 bytes) (+520) . . (→ the mountain: the apple and the moon are one problem. throw the stone harder and harder from the mountain until it comes back round to you without stopping)
• cur | prev 1609 J. Kepler (talk | contribs) . . (340 bytes) (+340) . . (created the page. a line from the planet to the sun sweeps equal areas in equal times. i do not know why and have not claimed to)
