I'm sorry man; you have no idea what you are saying, and what is there makes no sense. What you think I said, I didn't.
Though I did say that both RA and Decl are expressed as base 60 values...like time. But I did not say the milliarcseconds was a measurement of time.
Though I gotta ask; why would be using vector math if I was using C++?
And, the use of Acos, Asin is inappropriate here. See the snippet I posted...it is the correct method of computing X/Y/Z from RA, Decl, and Distance.
By the way y'all a simple query of goggle will show that I'm correct.
You need to give it up now, this is all way over your head.
Oh...I'm not a programmer. I'm a Sr. Software Architect.

I have to say I didn't think this was going to go well. It never does.... its like having a discussion with a troll on acid or something. Just remember he's a western semi hermetic magician which is the same as a troll on acid when it comes down to it. He doesn't like me because I'm always 5 steps ahead of his magic nonsense.
Anyway, I picked up a lot from your efforts.

No you shown a graphic drawn on paint in a pathetic website thats not what im talking about lets do a full 3d rendering of zeta reticuli. We can make it from any angle spatial geometry is easy. So where do we start sr software analyst unless you were lying to me i assure you i can make modules lets start tell me what we need. Unless your lying to me and havnr a clue in which case i guess im saying put up or shut up lets go.

You are incredible; I prove you are wrong and you still say that I am...I guess MIT, CalTech, et. al. aren't good enough,

Mit i have friends at MIT what classes did you take did you take any computer science courses? or are we lying again? I did mention i work at a university didnt i oh silly me might have forgot to mention it. So what classes did you take and who?

Wow...seriously dude get some help. I did not say I wet to MIT or even Caltech...the link of the last paper I posted...you know the one that shows how to compute X/Y/Z coordinates from RA and Decl...something you said could not be done...That was authored by scientists from MIT and Caltech.
And, yes I understand that universities hire janitors as well. Now, seriously; your lies are becoming a bother. As I said, you do not display the level of understanding a Phd. would possess.

They teach spatial coordinates in first year calculus you didnt understand this?
No your getting flustered and think your making sense see what you did there was attempt to make an argument through authority to back up your claims. But attempted to do it in a misleading fashion. Shame on you go back to you website at least people that bother to look at it might actually believe you since you have all those fancy graphics from poser. See poser is not in any way shape of form anything other than paint with multiple backgrounds so we can make pretty 3d like drawings but isnt really a true 3d rendering but if you were a software analyst you would know this.
Oh and it is quite appropriate you would use something called poser pro did you write it im sure your going to tell us you did.
Additionally, there are not significant differences in the drawings; virtually any pattern matching algorithm would declare this a match.

absolutely. especially if you draw the same pattern over top of something else. also, about half the dots are missing in the fish map. that's pretty significant.
Why do you do this?...unless you are as inept as him, which I don't believe, you know he's totally clueless. To lead this poor guy on like that is cruel.
