Time travel thread, Hey ho let's go!

no...not really, what your talking about is like precessional drift, in relation to the earths spin at it's poles...the horizone we look at 'goes backwards' thus giving the references in astronomy and astrology...thats what happens with the 'creep'...

Seriously, does anyone on here have a fucking clue what those words, in that order might mean?

I think some of it's a reference to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_precession_(astronomy)
which is actually an example of what i was talking about! Not exactly clear on the 'goes backwards'. Am happily ignorant of astrology, though it seems plausible that they borrow ideas from astronomy when is suits them. And 'creep' to me is a particular class of material deformation which i can't relate to this discussion.
