VOLUME 1 OF THE COPERNICAN SERIES

With Kepler's Laws of planetary motion, the most mathematical of laws, failing todescribe the reality it was designed to describe, where does that leave all of the nonmathematically based laws that underlie modern science, laws which seek to describe reality based on the agreement that they are evident to the sense of all mankind?

Does modern science have at its roots a misperception similar to the misconception that put the sun moving around the Earth, a misconception of the universe so basic as to reverse the picture of reality?

By assuming movement in the universe to be the result of historical forces, modern science has blinded itself to the measurable fact that matter requires force to remain in motion. As a result, science analyzes the universe with concepts designed to explain what is causing matter to move from trajectories assumed to be the result of historical forces rather than analyzing what is causing the matter to move in the first place.

If modern science can create laws that don't describe reality and then conform reality to those laws, if it can ignore the forces required to maintain current motion in favor of creating a physical reality that doesn't exist, then it must be operating with a defective methodology!

At the Gates of the Citadel shows that the scientific method is a tool to create facts rather than a method to analyze physical reality. It describes the mistakes, the misconceptions that have led to the picture of reality modern science paints, a picture that has no basis in physical reality.
