....or people unable to express the fact of a round and rotating Earth where the maximum Equatorial speed is 1037.5 miles/ 1669.8 km per hour -

Who is worse ? - people who mock others because they can with a flat-Earth notion or people who are dead serious that the Equatorial rotational velocity is 1674.4 km per hour thereby generating a nonsensical distance corresponding to a 40,185.6 km circumference. This is what theorists get when they link the Earth's rotation directly to stellar circumpolar motion via the 24 hour and calendar system.

It is not that people here should be ashamed of themselves, it is that those who can acutely feel the inability to affirm the correct rotational velocity at the Equator as 1669.8 km per hour and the 40,075 km circumference are saying and doing nothing.

I really wished you believed in a flat Earth because making a mess of things via timekeeping is far worse.
