Does that mean that the signal recieved for over an hour that was thought to be the probe on Titans surface was really Titan stopping it's rotation? That would be a cool trick. |
Why not? Planets go into retrograde all the time
Seriously, a Doppler signal that clearly demonstrates Hugyens landed at the correct time (or the moon stopped) absolutely kills my theory. Accelermeters that stored the landing force, then delivered this data to the computer
when Huygens ask for it do not.
