Re: Expanded UTC Page

The principles which keep the Earth rotating at 15 degrees per hour and
exactly 24 hours/360 degrees in total cannot change ,they cannot be
made obsolete nor can the Earth's terrestial longitudes and the
association between rotation at 15 degrees per hour be severed from
each other.

Too dumb to know that the pre-Copernican Equiation of Time principles
which fix natural noon to the 24 hour clock day transfer to its
heliocentric adaption to axial rotation at 15 degrees per hour and 24
hours/360 degrees in total,there is nothing easier ,more enjoyable or
more productive than the original Equation of Time principles which
straddle pre-Copernican and heliocentric astronomy.

Oh I know,you adhere to your calendrically driven clockwork system
based on an annual orbit of 3 years of 365 days and 1 year of 366 days
that keep the stars returning every night in 23 hours 56 min 04 sec.

I love the maneuvering of the 17th century guys in their attempt to
find longitude at sea using the celestial sphere/calendar system but I
would not build astronomical concepts on that homocentric standpoint.

Doctors ?,there are no doctors in astronomy or timekeeping but there
are plenty of phonies who are not capable of doing the neccessary
astronomical forensics to correct the 17th century misjudgements and
misconduct.A few here show potential for real astronomy,the rest are
either harmless astrophotographers or idiotic theorists who are
turning into a nuisance.
