Re: accruate "sundials"

To Tim

You have disgraced yourselves by giving yourselves choices that you do
not have,there is only one value for axial rotation as an independent
motion and the sidereal value is not it,no matter how many times it is
astronomically justified in going to support Newtonian ballistics
applied to planetary motion.

Those statements about axial rotation/sidereal justification from that
website are similar in content to a flat Earth or a creationist
Earth,you may not care to hear it but that is exactly what your
reasoning amounts to.Again,the Earth is turning and you are turning
with it and I strongly suggest you treat that motion as an independent
motion rather than the sidereal monstrosity based on a 4 year and 1
day calendrically combined axial and orbital average.

You have absolutely no idea what damage has been done in ways that have
spread beyond astronomy.
