There is nothing remotely close to the scale of this tragedy where not
a single person can state clearly that the Earth turns once in 24
hours and the reasoning behind it.

The description by Harrison of how clocks work with the daily cycle as
the Earth rotates to noon from page 91 onwards is so simple,even
omitting the Equation of Time correction,that to see my fellow human
beings do everything in their power to obscure what is basically the
most basic fact linking shape and rotation far exceeds the cruel
treatment of Harrison himself and extends the cruelty to the entire
discipline of astronomy.

What can any race of people possibly gain from distorting the
reasoning which links an astronomer such as Huygens to the inventor
that is Harrison through the references that link daily rotation to
the Sun -

"Draw a Meridian line upon a floor and then hang two plummets, each by
a small thred or wire, directly over the said Meridian, at the
distance of some 2. feet or more one from the other, as the smalness
of the thred will admit. When the middle of the Sun (the Eye being
placed so, as to bring both the threds into one line) appears to be in
the same line exactly ( you are then immediately to set the Watch, not
precisely to the hour of 12. but by so much less, as is the Aequation
of the day by the Table."

This nightmare of indifference must surely represent some type of
situation which our race has not seen before insofar as were a man to
propose that the Earth is flat by looking out his window,nobody would
pay attention to his views on important matters.You,as 'sidereal time'
proponents do much the same thing with not a hope of matching the
distances in the table with time and geographical separation -

John Harrison had the authority of the King behind him and still these
astrologers persisted in trying to wreck the achievement of this man
and his industry which amounts to an 18th century one man version of
NASA.Today there is no authority in existence,none !

I think it's finally official, Feckwit has clearly gone around the
bend.

I don't see that there is any hope for him whatsoever.
