You know how it is Sam,52% of people thought that the Sun orbits the
Earth in that game show and all due to the wonders of empiricists
such as yourself,not astronomers mind you,but empiricists

Be proud of your achievement where the majority of humanity do not
know basic astronomical principles such as heliocentric reasoning
while at the same time will wax lyrical about time travel,black holes
and all the other junk dumped into the celestial arena.

I am sure the majority of people outside this forum are enamored by
the idiotic 'leap second' adjustment but I wonder how many here now
take it seriously along with the reasoning behind it based on the
return of a star to a location representing axial rotation through 360
degrees.
