How do you know when you are back in the same place without an external

You are clearly using the sun as an external reference. So how does that
square with the claim that 'no external reference is necessary' ?
So - what is the means of knowing when you have completed 360 degrees
WITHOUT an external reference?

A gyro.

Yes, thanks for that, but O36 is not so easily fooled by these 'real
science' tricks.

The return of a star to a meridian in 23 hours 56 minutes and 04
seconds is based on a 1461 day cycle of 3 years of 365 days and 1 year
of 366 days.It should strike people that there is no way to justify the
Earth's axial and orbital motions using a system which requires a leap
correction every fourth year but then again,if the exquisiteEquation
of Time system which links the 24 hour day to axial rotation at
precisely 24 hours/360 degrees was appreciated I would not have to
point out exactly why having celestial sphere geometry governing solar
system dynamics is the most destructive concept ever to enter the
investigation of natural phenomena.
