When Newton dictated that the colors were ordered the way they came out the prism, and Young's heirs dictated that blue was the shortest frequency (wavelength in their confused terms), theoretical science grabbed onto it like white on rice. Practical technology has shown that Newton's opponents were correct, that the colors of the spectrum are lined up according to brightness, which means yellow is the shortest frequency, followed by red and green, with blue the longest.

But practical applications, for instance Kodak X3 technology for color digital cameras which couldn't work unless red wasn't a longer frequency than blue, weren't invented until the last several decades, long after red was used to measure the universe.

Normally digital color cameras have the red, green and blue collection dots side by side. However, the Kodak X3 technology puts them one on top of the other, filtering out the longer frequencies first and the shorter ones last. The chip only works if the blue in the red, green, blue line up is facing the light because blue is the longer frequency. If the stack is turned around so that the light hits red first, then it doesn't work because blue, the longer frequency, can't make it through the red filter. This is only one example. Others can be found in Let's Talk Flying Saucers. Practical inventions showing the true line-up of the colors, that we had the spectrum basically reversed, weren't technologically invented until theoretical science had committed itself to the red shift as evidence for an expanding universe.

Theoretical science also uses the red shift, with red rather than blue the longer frequency, to place the galaxy in reverse motion, rotating in the opposite direction than it really is, for instance, opposite to the description of precession in this article. Of course, theoretical science, even though it is using a star in a different part of the galaxy to prove precession, has no interest in connecting the solar system to the star and thus ignores rotation as an aspect of precession.

But once we know the speed of the sun, and give me a little leeway on my math here, we know that the sun moves forward almost 3 million miles a year (see Sidebar, The

Speed and Direction of the Sun later in the article). If we compute the length of precession for a year on the Earth's orbit, straightened out because 1/72th of 1% is pretty much a straight line, we only have a distance traveled of just over 90,000 miles.

This is extraordinary information about the galaxy. Theoretical science, in its complete sloppiness, says all motion started with a big bang, which is straight line motion, the galaxy's are the result of that big bang, and that gravity is the only force in the universe.

Thus, there is no force to make the galaxies rotate except the straight-line force of gravity, which is both impossible and rather amusing when you consider grown men espousing it. I describe the force that turns galaxies into spiral beauties as they are born in Atom, Stars and Minds: Synthesizing an Elementary Particle That Comprehends Itself, the 3rd volume of The Copernican Series.

I would have predicted the opposite, the sighted star moving faster than the sun because the sighted star is closer to the center of the galaxy. Seeing that the sun is moving about 2,910,000 miles in a year further than a star closer to the center of the galaxy tells me a lot about how the forces that move the stars of a galaxy work.
