A reflector will not throw off cold when heat is placed before it; nor heat when cold is presented. If a red light is received, red light will be returned, not blue or yellow. If the note C is sounded upon any musical instrument, a reflector will not return the note D or G, but precisely the same note, altered only in degree or intensity.

If the moon is a reflector of the sun's light, she could not radiate or throw down upon the earth any other light than such as she first receives from the sun. No difference could exist in the quality or character of the light; and it could not possibly differ in any other respect than that of intensity or quantity. 

This is an absurd argument for the red light you see on the moon during an eclipse, the sun sends white light which can then be filtered to the different wavelengths. You can do this yourself with a prism. Or, you know.. look at a rainbow. In fact, all the colors you see right now is the result of white light being absorbed by pigment and reflecting what it doesn't absorb. This is a misunderstanding of science.

I also read through his measurements of the sun and moon. At its lowest point, the sun is only 400 miles from the surface? So the moon must be much closer since you know, eclipses. And he proves this using the exact same trigonometry they say is falsified by Hipparchus..i don't get it
