I would never tell a person that the Equation of Time principles which
maintain the equivalency of axial rotation at 15 degrees per hour is
difficult to grasp,it is not and the exquisite reasoning which allied
the pace of hours,minutes and seconds to axial rotation came from a
different people,not this level where the clarity is fudged to make way
from the sidereal reasoning of Flamsteed/Newton.

You have the luxury of looking through your telescopes and calling
yourselves 'astronomers' by that fact but as an isolated group,you
cannot even manage to acknowledge how the equable 24 hour day
translates into constant axial rotation within a heliocentric
framework.

There is nothing to compare in human history with the awful lapse of
reasoning that constitutes the Newtonian ballistic agenda applied to
planetary motion and it shows in your reply.
