Re: accruate "sundials"

To Jim

I am technically correct on this matter,humanity does not care or at
least knows that the Earth rotates in 24 hours precisely,the only thing
left is to fight to restore the Copernican insight from falling into a
stupid homocentric notion -

There are no decent people among you, to witness the destruction of
astronomy using the name of the great Copernicus is only surpassed by
the casual indifference to future generations.The following statements
are from men who first seen the heliocentric system unfold while
contemporaries remain stuck in elevators doing thought experiments.

Kepler



". . . the ancient hypotheses clearly fail to account for certain
important matters. For example, they do not comprehend the causes of
the numbers, extents and durations of the retrogradations and of their
agreeing so well with the position and mean motion of the sun.
Copernicus alone gives an explanation to those things that provoke
astonishment among other astronomers, thus destroying the source of
astonishment, which lies in the ignorance of the causes." 1596,
Mysterium Cosmographicum

Again,it is a matter of decency at best for misconduct or making
infanntile choices ends where it begins,in the playground.
