If Armstrong’s forecasts are beyond error, is that not already a sign to question them?

How do we know the difference between a man who seeks truth and one who sells certainty?

The Oracle of Delphi spoke in riddles, and those who took her words as absolute met their ruin.

Wisdom is measured by humility before the unknown.

I don't need Armstrong to tell me the sun will rise tomorrow, I already know.... (see below)

Here you are in 2019 going on about something MA said in 2012...

Here you are in 2019, your first post here, raving about MA...

You clearly suffer from MADS... (Martin Armstrong Derangement Syndrome)

Earth is about 4.54 billion years old, but the Sun didn’t start “rising” in a meaningful sense until Earth had a stable rotation and atmosphere — roughly 4.5 billion years ago is still a fair starting point.

Since the Sun rises once per day, we can calculate:

4.54 billion years×365.25 days/year˜1.66×10124.54 \text{ billion years} × 365.25 \text{ days/year} ˜ 1.66 × 10^{12}4.54 billion years×365.25 days/year˜1.66×1012 So the Sun has risen roughly 1.66 trillion times on Earth since its formation.

Of course, the concept of a “sunrise” depends on location — the Earth always has one half in daylight and one in darkness, so globally a sunrise is happening somewhere every instant. But for a single point on Earth’s surface, there have been about 1.66 trillion dawns since the planet began to spin beneath the Sun.
