I understand you believe that all answers must come from “experts” (experts usually being those who are approved by the establishment). It’s what we are conditioned to believe. It’s beyond time for us to find our own answers though.

I’m not the one writing the paper, Tom Van Flandern is the one who wrote the paper. Tom Van Flandern graduated from Xavier University cum laude with a B.S. in Mathematics in 1962 and was awarded a teaching fellowship at Georgetown University. He attended Yale University on a scholarship sponsored by the U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO), joining USNO in 1963. In 1969 he received a PhD in Astronomy from Yale, with a dissertation on lunar occultations. Van Flandern worked at the USNO until 1983, first becoming Chief of the Research Branch and later becoming Chief of the Celestial Mechanics Branch of the Nautical Almanac Office.
