Harrison knew that a clock keeps pace with a single independent motion
- the motion of the Earth on its axis.
The pre-Copernican average 24 hour day that elapses into the next
equable 24 hour day was maintained by the Equation of Time correction
and within the Copernican/Keplerian heliocentric framework this
equable pace translates into rotation at 15 degrees per hour and 24
hours in total for a full 360 degrees of rotation.
Hence,clocks do not measure time but they are simple and exquisite
devices with keep pace with axial rotation and the principles which fix
terrestial longitudes to this pace at 15 degrees per hour or 4 minutes
for each degree of rotation.
It does'nt take a genius to figure it out so what does that make
you,another cataloguing freak in a world that has known too many.Go
back to your astrophotography and pretend that you deserve the title of
astronomers but you freaks manage to fudge the most basic value of
all,the axial rotation of the Earth and the principles which keep it
as an independent pace determined by a clock as 15 degrees per hour and
24 hours in total.
