Well, there's you.

This is terrible. The Earth moves in it's orbit each day about one
degree... or one and a half million miles. Not one Angstrom unit!
Oh, maybe they just cut and pasted from their word processor; special
characters get mangled that way.
Surely there is somebody with intelligence to see that a stopwatch
will register the return of a star in 23 hours 56 minutes 04 seconds
and restarted at that point will register the same length of time
until the star returns again therefore equating daily rotation as an
independent motion in 23 hours 56 minutes 04 seconds as all the
references and encyclopedias do is in total disrepute of normal
thinking -
Yes. Ever since Galileo proved Aristotle wrong, scientists hold
"normal thinking" in disrepute as something that can lead to wrong
ideas that cause confusion and misunderstanding of how nature really
works.
Just because the Earth orbits the Sun doesn't mean this motion belongs
to a hierarchical structure, where the Earth's motions should only be
considered in relation to the Sun. Instead, the Earth's spin on its
axis should be judged in the *same* frame that is used for judging its
annual orbit.
What possible good can come from continuing with a fiction of this
magnitude or how is it possible for people to be indifferent about the
inability to express the Earth's independent rotation as an isolated
fact or the ability to promote the wrong value ?.
You are the one with a wild notion out of which one can ask what
possible good could come.
