Can the attitude, flamer. Personal attacks are a sure indication
that the poster is wrong on either evidence or logic and knows it.


It is a straightforward and accurate comment supported by the
treatise of Huygens - people who believe that you can accurately
determine the rotation of the Earth using an external reference or
rather require 'leap second' corrections have no appreciation for
heliocentric reasoning.




If you have a valid argument, present it. Don't assume that the
reader will accept insults and ad hominems as a substitution for
logical arguments based on evidence.


If any of you were any good I would not have to come here and show you
basic astronomical principles such as how clocks,the axial cycle and
terrestrial longitudes remain in sync at 4 minutes/1 degree,15 degrees/
1 hour making precisely 24 hours/360 degrees in total..

The 24 hour is a human creation via the Equation of Time correction
(check Huygens !),basic logic,do you hear,basic logic dictates that to
determine axial rotation by an external reference dictated by the
human invention such as the 24 hour day borders on ridiculous.


(I am seriously considering killfiling all Google Groups posters.
Feel free to respond with further abuse if you wish to make my
decision a lot easier to make.)

You insult yourselves,too dumb to know why 'leap second corrections'
are pretensious nonsense given that they have been making 86 400 leap
second corrections since antiquity.
