There are certain statement which cannot be reduced further such as
why clocks register the rotation rate of the Earth through 360 degrees
in 24 hours,disagree with it such as the adoption of the sidereal
value of 23 hours 56 min 04 sec through 360 degrees and it too amounts
to a definite statement ,much as the creationists are positively
certain that the Earth is 6000 years old.
How counterintuitive is relativity and opposed to common sense,well if
men can't figure out what the most fundamental rotation of all is -
the Earth rotation on its axis and the 24 hour/360 degree
equivalency,it sure is opposed to common sense and marks us as a
civilisation that loved the gutter.
The puppet show of Einstein/Newton may somehow constitute the worse
epoch in human endeavor with no central correction system to correct
truly awful lapse in reasoning that mark us as the most intellectually
weak people ever to inhabit the planet,period.
I think, I'm going to bang my head against a brick wall

There, I feel better now.

You have disgraced yourselves,things known a millenia ago seem beyond
you and not even one has acknowledged the error.So be it.
