Re: alt.horology participants, you have been HAD!!!

The working principles required for avenues such as geology,climatology
and astronomical modelling require the correct relationship betwen
axial and orbital motion and the unrealistic notions springing from the
justification of the sidereal value is not just creating the technical
obstacles for the working principles,it is causing this intutive and
intellectual atrophy that borders on subhuman.

It is harder to justify the sidereal value ,such as that taken from
Encarta* , than it is to justify axial rotation as it develops out of
the pre-Copernican Equation of Time correction and how it makes its way
into heliocentric independent axial rotation.

Do you not know that the Equation of Time correction act like daily
'leap' corrections,constantly adjusting natural noon to 24 hour clock
noon making one 24 hour day elapse seamlessly into the next 24 hour day
?.The great heliocentric advancement was to render the 24 hour day
generated by the Equation of Time correction into the principle that
the Earth's rotation is constant even though they knew that it was the
Earth's varying orbital motion compounded with axial rotation that
generated the natural unequal day.

What a remarkable achievement it is to see how careful men made these
great decisions in order that clocks could be constructed around the
principles of terrestial longitudes,axial rotation and the equivalency
between 1 degree representing 4 minutes clock time and 24 hours.360
degrees in total.

It may be more remarkable that you believe that the Sun returns to noon
every 24 hours exactly considering that nothing from antiquity to
heliocentricity supports that ridiculous notion that devalues the
timepieces to the point of being a destructive nuisance in the realms
of astronomy,climatology and geology among other things.

You call me one thing or another but it matters little given what you
yourselves believe.
