	Manhin Look-Yat was ~~born in the island of Trinidad and Tobago in 1925 of~~ a ~~native~~ Trinidadian ~~Mother~~ and an ~~immigrant Scottish merchant Father. He was always intrigued as a child by the myriad~~ of ~~life-forms from the minute microcosms of life forms both plant~~ and ~~animal to the vast macroscosm of the universe all around him~~. ~~His flights of fancy as a youth found him fully engaged in the pursuit of knowledge of such things~~ he ~~was ever so curious about. With a great enthusiasm on~~ the ~~nature~~ of ~~things from geology, anthropology, physics, science in all~~ its ~~strata, to the most deeply rooted fire within,~~ the ~~study~~ of ~~astronomy, cosmology and~~ the ~~cosmogony of the universe. Like James Croll before him, the 18th century self-taught scholar~~ and ~~astronomer who was accepted as~~ a ~~scholar of distinction by the scientific world~~, ~~Manhin Look-Yat~~, ~~by his mid~~-~~twenties and early thirties began a series~~ of ~~journals on the various sciences taking great interest in the theories on planetary motions~~. ~~Not placing emphasis on traditional college education, much like James Croll, who authored major books such as 'The Philosophy of Theism'~~ and ~~"Climate~~ and ~~Time'~~, Look-Yat also embarked upon documenting his own NEWLY REVEALED theory on True Planetary Motions in 1976 through 1996. He knew he had found the KEY to TRUE PLANETARY MOTIONS. With the advancing effects of Parkinson's disease, he completed his manuscript just before his death in 1996.		'''Manhin Look-Yat''' (August 6, 1925 – July 1, 1996) was a Trinidadian-born amateur [[Astronomy\|astronomer]] and independent researcher who developed an unconventional theory of planetary motion which he called "True Planetary Motions and Rhythmic Climatic Changes." Working largely outside mainstream academia, he argued that the [[Sun]] moves in an orbit of its own around the hub of the galaxy and that projecting planetary orbits from a moving Sun, rather than a stationary one, reveals predictable long-term cycles of climatic change. His manuscript was left unpublished at his death and was completed and published posthumously in 2010 by his daughter, Helen Look-Yat Taylor.

	He valued all great scientific thinkers, but challenged the noted learned men of past centuries such as Galileo and Kepler in his observation of the deficiencies in their projections of astronomy and planetary motions. With his discovery of True Planetary Motions, he later became engrossed in a particular topic ,which even almost 25 years or more ago, places his theory in an avant-garde category of vital importance in the crucial topic of climatic changes so much a buzz word in today's number one global concerns...		==Biography==

	~~By his late sixties~~ the ~~rigors~~ of the ~~rapidly aggressive effects~~ of ~~Parkinsons disease interrupted his life works yet unpublished at~~ the ~~time~~ of ~~his untimely passing from suicide in the prime~~ of his ~~years and~~ life ~~works in July, 1996~~. ~~He wrote in the margin of his manuscript:~~		Look-Yat was born in [[Trinidad and Tobago]] in 1925, the son of a Trinidadian mother and an immigrant Scottish merchant father. As a child he took a wide-ranging interest in the natural world, from geology, anthropology and physics to astronomy and cosmology. Rather than pursuing a traditional university education, he was largely self-taught, and by his mid-twenties he had begun compiling a series of journals on the sciences, taking a particular interest in theories of planetary motion. Accounts of his life compare his self-directed scholarship to that of the nineteenth-century self-taught Scottish scientist [[James Croll]].

	~~"I am~~ the ~~only one who has come~~ to ~~this revelation~~, the ~~only one with my name~~,~~and this discovery shall go with me to my grave"..~~.		Look-Yat later settled in the United States, residing in Beltsville, Maryland. From the mid-1970s until his death he worked to document his theory, typing his manuscript himself even as the progressive effects of [[Parkinson's disease]] increasingly limited him. According to his family, he died in July 1996, before completing the publication of his work.

	It was upon reading this that his last daughter and best critique, took on the vow and personal dedication to complete his life's work on this crucial discovery in presenting the body of works to the world. The audio tapes and manuscript remained in her possession for over thirteen years until 2009 when upon discovering the remaining manuscripts and audio tapes on a trip back to her family home she mustered up the courage to begin the transcribing of the volumes of data in presenting the finished works to the world finally in this book release titled by her father:		==Work==

	'~~TRUE PLANETARY MOTIONS AND RHYTHMIC CLIMATIC CHANGES'~~		Look-Yat's central claim was that earlier astronomers, including [[Galileo Galilei\|Galileo]] and [[Johannes Kepler\|Kepler]], had modeled planetary orbits with reference to a stationary Sun, and that this assumption produced what he regarded as deficiencies in describing planetary motion. In his framework, the Sun itself follows a cyclical orbit around the inner hub of the galaxy, and planetary orbits should be projected from the center of the ellipse of this moving Sun.

	"~~His observation~~ of the ~~universe using first time ever discovered projections from his calculations based on his theory~~ of ~~"TRUE PLANETARY MOTIONS AND RHYTHMIC CLIMATIC CHANGES" is not only brilliantly demonstrated in his documented drawings of his projections~~, ~~but will prove to~~ be ~~unfathomably priceless to mankind in~~ the ~~advent~~ of ~~his revelations~~ and ~~discovery"~~		He held that these "true planetary motions" corresponded to regular, predictable cycles of climatic change, which he described in periods on the order of 6,000, 12,000 and 25,000 years. On this basis he asserted that long-term climate shifts, including ice ages, could be forecast far into the future. These ideas are not accepted within mainstream astronomy or climate science and stand outside the established models of celestial mechanics and [[Milankovitch cycles\|orbital forcing]].

	~~"A lifetime labor of love, his valuable works are worthy to be recognized by the Nobel Prize!"~~		Look-Yat left volumes of notes, drawings and audio recordings of his projections. After his death these materials passed to his daughter, Helen Look-Yat Taylor, who transcribed the manuscript and audio tapes and, beginning in 2009, prepared the work for publication. The completed book, ''True Planetary Motions and Rhythmic Climatic Changes'', credited to both Manhin Look-Yat and Helen Look-Yat Taylor, was published by Xlibris in 2010.

	~~Scientist and Astronomer Manhin~~ Look-Yat, ~~my father, was an extraordinary man with extraordinary vision into the birth of the most astronomically significant discovery of the millennia~~ and of ~~all time~~. Man has been since time immemorial at the mercy of catastrophic climatic manifestations that have changed the face of the planet and altered countless civilizations through the eons of time. With the discovery of TRUE PLANETARY MOTIONS and RHYTHMIC CLIMATIC CHANGES mankind will no longer be playing the guessing game on his fate as now the confusion on global warming and global cooling will be lifted. Now cyclical climatic changes will be systematically and accurately gauged for a new beginning for humanity. He spent the better of twenty five to ~~thirty years perfecting~~ his ~~projections of his discovery of true planetary motions from the early 1970's to 1996~~, the ~~year of his death from suicide from Parkinson's disease. It was his great passion to produce his~~ manuscript ~~typing one finger at a time on a typewriter I gave him as a young woman~~, ~~also intensely interested~~ in ~~his work. His accurate projections will reveal the orderly procession of planets in our solar system in orbit around a moving Sun on its own cyclical rhythms of orbit on the inner hub of our galaxy~~, ~~contrary to all previous findings based on a stationary Sun of late and early astronomers.~~

	~~He was most concerned that his discovery would go with him to~~ the ~~grave, upon his death which is the impetus~~ for ~~my forging forward with the transcription and~~ publication ~~of his manuscript~~. ~~This is a most urgent~~ and ~~timely release of his findings that will give answers to many or most of the unanswered questions of our cosmos. I have chosen to present this matter to you worthy men of science~~, ~~as a first step~~ to ~~sharing this important discovery with the science community.~~
