There is nothing nicer that to bring up the abnormal physical
considerations of indoctrinated individuals So Tonkin,you are front and
center as representative of the bulk of your colleagues.

What did I tell you about introducing the stellar background into time
reckoning and especially using the 24 hour clock system.
The original pre-Copernican principles for the equable 24 hour day are
based on the return of the Sun to noon.The natural inequality was
equalised by the Equation of Time hence one 24 hours day elapses
seamlessly into the next 24 hour day.We know this through the 24 hours
of Sunday elapsing into the 24 hours days of Monday ,ect.Can you keep
up with this?,if you can't then spend all the time you need before you
take the leap to the heliocentric adaption.
When Copernicus,a great 15th century astronomer,presented the reasons
for the Earth's rotation on its axis and its orbital motion,it was
realised that the existing Equation of Time principles were
spectacularly suited to axial rotation at 15 degrees per hour through
the division of the Earth into terrestial longitudes.No background
stars,no reference to orbital motion,just an exquisite heliocentric
adaption to an already beautiful and ancient timekeeping system.
As Copernican heliocentricity was open to mutations,the Flamsteed
mutation was to account for the return of a star in 23 hours 56 min 04
sec by borrowing 3 min 56 sec from axial rotation and forcing it into
an orbital displacement.That is not fraud,that is entirely stupid.
Enjoying the riches of real astronomy in isolation when all around me I
see these silly notions such as Flamsteed's siderealism and Newtonian
quasi-geocentricity is a great disappointment.It takes a little courage
and a little effort to recover the glories of real astronomy in a world
that is barren,sterile and overun with optical astronomers.
