****WEEK 16 APOLOGY
If you have been tricked, sorry. Not really a relief needing passing Martian. Am a Martian permanently settled here but now will undoubtedly face deportation back to Mars when your authorities wake up to no interplanetary documentation.
As a youngster, did go through an earth school. Back there then Galileo's mistake was a real shock to a young Martian. The Newton tidal mistake more an notification that, when you have materialized on a different planet, there can be work to be done. Years later, when it was found that your earth professors wouldn't listen about solutions to their mistakes, actual memory of being a Martian here on your earth kicked in. To a young Martian, your Copernican revolution meant earth schoolteachers could teach lies about the universe to earthlings. The olden day teachers had been teaching the earth is fixed in space. This was proven wrong. When the tangent to an orbit was taught as a solution to planetary motion was taught, this Martian Copernican revolution lesson kicked in. Modern schoolteachers were now teaching lies about the universe.
Anyway, if the chapter and verse of that fixed star Copernican flaw could have been presented with in a slide show that didn't work, it would have been. After all the inabilities to communicate to Australian academics or politicians or a magistrate or the physics forums of the internet, it was realised that the Martian side of things would be best revealed for the sake of life on your planet. There would be no other way to get onto your professors being wrong about a few earth critical things.
These are the best available passing images so chosen to represent a materialized Martian on earth. The first is a couple oblivious to becoming the parents of a Martian. The second the Martian after having come out of earth class rooms a year or two before incredulous about the way planetary motion and the tides had just been taught on this other planet.

Later an earth flower power woman changed the direction of a Martian unable to explain the tides to earth professors. Some of their kids pollinated into earth universities, one in South Africa. Very fond Martian memories of a recent visit there and other parts of southern Africa, to.
Whether Sir Isaac Newton saw an apple fall or imagined seeing an apple fall, both versions of the story carry mistaken speculations. The moon isn't falling from an imaginary path of ascension in the earth's gravity. An apple, falling or otherwise, does not draw a planet or the universe towards its self. And an apple does not directly fall towards the centre of the earth. Any falling object curves towards the path of the earth.
Anyway, please, please, excuse. When you are a Martian, your know your world could have had a better corrector of Sir Isaac, surely. The bottom line is the motion of the sun needs to become part of junior earth school curricula.
Well rushing at the Gaborone airport to catch a connecting flight. Had thirteen days in Africa still fondly sticking in the mind.
Well, someone was fortunate enough to see Victoria Falls from a helicopter.
The Martian hope was that this second web page wasn't needed.
