"When the Ecliptic is explained to people it has an usual property of drifting into and out of nonsense at unusual rates similar to that of a sinoatrial graph with a phase shift of about 2.3 and an s of 6.534. Comprehension of the effect without an encyclopaedic knowledge of astronomy requires an IQ of approximately 195, causing most humans posed with the conundrum to revert to a foetal position and cry like particularly small and whiny girls. An example of the difficulty in explaining the effect to mere mortals is Bernard Manning, who claims ownership of the Ecliptic even though it's been explained to him on numerous occasions that it is not only imaginary but also invisible."@en . . . . . . . . . . . .

The Ecliptic was previously thought to be a side-effect of the redshifting and gravitational lensing of the Earth's orbital plane upon its pre-obliquity surface. However, studies using the Hubble Space Telescope proved that this was entirely not the case. When viewed from an angle of incidence it seems as though the Ecliptic is, perversely enough, blue shifted, leading scientists to believe that this will eventually lead to the Ecliptic merging with the Earth at the predicted date of 2210 AD. Fortunately, the only noticable effect of this seemingly catastrophic event will be near-instant asplosion of the Moon and stars."@en . . .
