This is early 20th century empirical rubbish which not only distracts from the wonders of the celestial arena, it does so in a specific way.The whole issue centers on the Equation of Time and a mathematician's idiosyncratic version of the difference between the 24 AM/PM cycle and the variations in the natural noon cycle -

"Absolute time, in astronomy, is distinguished from relative, by the equation of time. For the natural days are truly unequal, though they are commonly considered as equal and used for a measure of time; astronomers correct this inequality for their more accurate deducing of the celestial motions.The necessity of which equation, for determining the times of a phenomenon, is evinced as well from the experiments of the pendulum clock, as by eclipses of the satellites of Jupiter."

That bluff and voodoo of the early 20th century disguises many things Collins but nothing so more relevant than none of you understood your own system known as the 'universal theory of gravitiation'.

Once you understand the dynamics behind the variations in the natural noon cycle you will be fine but as for that outdated trash built on not understanding the external references for the Equation of Time, it now looks like a silly indulgence of old guys unable to adjust and adapt to modern tools.
