So what have you all against one of the most delightful correlations
ever devised by human reasoning,this small article is fine for
proposing the only acceptable value which links clocks to axial
rotation.
If the link works then fine,if not,then there are plenty of different
way to appreciate the magnificent achievement where the ancient
Equation of Time correction which creates the 24 hour day was given a
new twist by the great Western astronomers when axial rotation was
discovered.
It would be wonderful if there were archaeologists here but apparently
there are none,only cardboard cutout props used to support idiotic
conceptions.
I first noticed your inability to comprehend time keeping when I show you how
to lay out the octagon structure using a stick in the ground. You appear
compelled to making things more complicated than they are.
There are things which are difficult to work out but you haven't come near those.
You appear to have a problem with 365.24xxxx against 365 calendar days.
The creation of the 24 hour day is probably one of the greatest known
achievements of humanity for practical purposes and it involves the
simple recognition that no two daily cycles,as determined at noon,are
equal in length.No location rotates to face the Sun in exactly 24
hours which is why the noon Equation of Time correction equalises the
variations to a 24 hour average cycle and keeps these equable 24
cycles cycles elasping into each other.It is supposed to be celebrated
as incontrovertible among archaeologists insofar as it is a humn
devised principle but look at your response.
Are you are stupid as you are pretending or are you not pretending?

The difference is obvious by making the day and night observation I described.

It is no more difficult than that. Even you could do it. It is not impressive
at all.

You deserve each other,there is no doubt about that.

I would not care if any of you ever appreciated how the 24 hour day
was created out of the unequal length of the natural daily cycle,these
things are so exquisite that they do not admit appreciation by fools
who construct things after their own liking and care not for the
efforts of many great men over many eras and civilisations.

At least you are vocal and that is in your favor,those who reason that
silence is the best policy have the worse possible fate,if it can be
called that.Men who create fables,either technical or
historical,eventually are found out and that you lot support an
ideology which rejects the creation of the equable 24 hour day and
its correlation to clocks,terrestrial longitudes and axial
rotation ,leaves you in a far worse position than those who supported
Piltdown man as a consensual advantageous proposal.

There may be genuine people who can make a difference and promote the
actual human achievement through the Equation of Time correction which
generates the 24 hour day out of the natural unequal day but it of
little use if they are not vocal about it.Saving future generations
from the late 17th century error is heroic for it involves so much of
human history in terms of discoveries,achievements and the integrity
of human knowledge in contrast to the meaningless bluff and bluster
that accompanies those who live by trivia and have no intellectual or
intutive roots .

People live or fall by how they grow in wisdom and develop their
understandings,the actual principles which create the 24 hour day and
how it was adapted to axial rotation are comparable to any of the
great works of music,art and literature when appreciated
properly.There is no single answer but rather the ability to adopt the
correct working principles which our ancestors set out and improve on
them where possible,unfortunately an error in principle occured in the
late 17th century which turned a productive arena into a barren and
sterile one.

You can knowingly turn your faces away from the Longitudestory which
contains much of what I have already said and indeed many of the false
elements that were brought in to support celestial sphere geometry and
this convicts you more than anything else.Your call.

OK. You are not pretending.


Archaeologists who cannot even get the basic correlation at the core
of the Longitude story are hardly archaeologists,most of it being
recent history covering topics such as human invention and human
devised principles which keep clocks in sync with the daily cycle
caused by the rotation of the Earth.

Obviously you can go on ignoring that you adhere to an idea that a
location rotates to face the Sun in exactly 24 hours even though it
has been known from antiquity that no two cycles,as determined at
noon,are the same length.Piltdown man is nothing compared to the
adherence to a view which is sub-human in content and character while
being destructive and counter-productive on all counts.Looking at the
following Nasa explanation is incredible that people could actually
believe this let alone such an institution -

Period Of Rotation
"The actual value is 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds. This is the
length of a "sidereal" day. It is the actual time it takes the Earth
to rotate 360 degrees. The term "sidereal" (pronounced sigh-dear'-
real) refers to the rotation of the Earth being measured relative to
the stars. There ARE 24 hours in a "solar day". This is the time it
takes from one noon (sun overhead) to the next noon. The difference in
the two "days" arises from the fact that during a day the Earth also
travels nearly a degree further on its yearly trek around the Sun. "

To make the noon Equation of Time correction disappear like that is
an incredible feat yet this is exactly what these type of
explanations ,like the one above,attempt to do.The fact that people
who make it their business to accurately reflect the achievements of
humanity,and the creation of the 24 hour day is a dynamic
achievement,makes this all the more disappointing,at least for the
present.

Authority needs acts of courage and this is lacking here,while I will
grant that your discipline can make a huge difference,the fact that
you acted so slowly and so miserably wioth Piltdown Man affirms that
you did not learn your lessons about acting with courage when it is
needed.Nobody remembers or cares about the Piltdown man 'authorities'
yet humanity is indebted to those who took the step to jettisoned the
phony ideology and the pretensious atmosphere that bred it.
