Re: best questions at star parties?

A child could tell you what happens to the orbital motion of the Earth
through your sidereal justification -

You are hardly the right person to comprehend that the Earth would
cover a greater distance in its orbital circumference if that
justication for 23 hours 56 min 04 sec were correct.

To see the Keplerian refinement of Copernican orbital geometry turned
into an ugly spectacle so you can have your celestial sphere is
almost unbearable,moreso in that not another individual has pointed out
the horror of astronomically justifying a system which requires 3 years
of 365 days and 1 year of 366 days to work.

Go and disappear into that oblivion and leave me to find a person with
a little courage and intuitive intelligence to recognise a very
particular Western holocaust which suits only astrophotographers and
empirical cultists.

What about the whackos who imagine that the return of a star to the

The Earth takes 23 hours 56 minutes 4 seconds (approx) to rotate once
(i.e. 360 degrees) on its axis, relative to the universe. Do you
agree?

The working principles for the Earth's orbital motion in isolation from
axial rotation is the basis for Copernican heliocentricity.Here is time
lapse footage of that orbital motion overtaking the slower orbital
motions of Jupiter and Saturn -

The working principles for axial rotation at 15 degrees per hour and 24
hours/360 degrees in total was originally the return of Sun to noon but
was adapted to the Copernican principle of axial rotation in
isolation.The Equation of Time correction straddle the pre-Copernican
and heliocentric adaption and still remains in the background.as a
testament to the power of astronomical workmanship based strictly on
the Earth and the Sun .

Here are two of the greatest human intellectual and intuitive
achievements side by side and you catagorically believe an alternative
value of 23 hours 56 min 04 sec and justify it using the Earth's axial
and orbital motion as a compound motion.The daily cycle which humanity
is adapted to and the pace of existence is tied to that cycle ,to
believe an alternative and phony value is not counter-intuitive,for
there is no such thing,it is however counter-productive is a
spectacular way.

Without both axial and orbital motions and orientations in isolation,it
is impossible to work on global climate norms and imbalances and the
temperature signatures derived astronomically and the difference
between other signatures such as human activity.

Once again:

The Earth takes 23 hours 56 minutes 4 seconds (approx) to rotate once
(i.e. 360 degrees) on its axis, relative to the universe. Do you
agree, YES or NO?
