Default Amazingly brutal optical test site. No SCT left alive!

It is a basic human right that children are taught that the Earth turns once each 24 hours and within the confines of 4 orbital circumferences there are 1461 rotations. It is unimaginable that an entire era would actively promote 1465 rotations for the same 4 annual circuits ,not because of the ridiculousness of the notion itself, but there is nobody who takes joy in the actual system of references where February 29th represents the 1461's day and rotation.

No person or group can live off hatred and stupidity for any length of time so the fact that the actual system has been in this forum for many years and is still mocked can be incredible at times.

The appearance of the Sun followed by the appearance of the stars is the most basic experience of astronomy in terms of the Earth's rotation so that unfunny belief that the Earth's rotation bypasses the daily cycle for a rotating celestial sphere notion is a genuine tragedy.

" During one orbit around the Sun, Earth rotates about its own axis 366.26 times " Wikipedia

People shouldn't choose this intellectual suicide but if they do they shouldn't take students with them.
