Fuckit, just ignore them.

Makes a chage to read your stuff rather than the bleatings and rantings
of those calling for your posts to be killfiled.

The Newgrange monument was created by pragmatic and careful people who
knew what they were doing in determining the annual cycle through the
roofbox structure and the rays of sunlight entering the interior.The
same care was applied by other civilisations up to and including the
Western astronomical tradition of Copernicus and Kepler.Then people,the
anti-intuitive 17th century empiricists got careless and these are the
guys here busy 'plonking',killfiling and being a nuisance.

Does it not suprise you that even Nasa gets the basic correlation
between clocks and axial rotation wrong ? -


Period Of Rotation
The actual value is 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds. This is the
length of a "sidereal" day. It is the actual time it takes the Earth to
rotate 360 degrees. The term "sidereal" (pronounced sigh-dear'-real)
refers to the rotation of the Earth being measured relative to the
stars. There ARE 24 hours in a "solar day". This is the time it takes
from one noon (sun overhead) to the next noon. The difference in the
two "days" arises from the fact that during a day the Earth also
travels nearly a degree further on its yearly trek around the Sun.

People would refuse to believe that the empirical doctrines in
astronomical matters justify axial rotation as a different value than
15 degrees per hour but the above list of references shows just how
pandemic the erroneous reasoning is.

I have to rely on the most remote of possibilities,that somebody here
has read the Longitude story of John Harrison and enjoyed that book.The
actual principles which govern axial rotation at 15 degrees per hour
were absent from that book,with a little effort from the new Goggle
website,it becomes possible to demonstrate how the Equation of Time
reduces the natural unequal day to the 24 hour day and simultaneously
reduces the observation of natural noon to terrestial longitudes -

In short,the entire framework for the Newtonian concepts of planetary
motion are based on the wrong value for axial rotation,the sidereal
justification.I assure you Michael,watching these empiricists assault
the faith of good Christians while denominational Christianity remains
mute is an experience that I wish to say little about other than being
intellectually subservient to obvious foolishness cannot represent
Christ or Christianity,that the empiricists are left with their
insults cannot substitute for the silence from Christians ,Irish or
otherwise.
