I know,you must work at the empirical Klingon language institute -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klingon_Language_Institute
As a direct result of what occurred within English borders,and
especially concentrated around the area of Longitude,the rest of the
world is going to slowly recover a stable narrative which retains the
24 AM/PM cycle and the Lat/Long system as containing the information
of the Earth's rotation.With no visible signs that the English
representation have any intention of shifting away from the flawed Ra/
Dec clockwork solar system it will be external national concerns that
will isolate the iconic error for what it is.
Enjoy yourselves with empirical language that merely disguises a
mistake that when seen and understood,and it doesn't take that much,is
breathtaking in the debris area it creates around all other sciences
and especially terrestrial sciences.In the decade since I came here I
see little stomach for adjusting to a better perspective so this is no
longer a matter of intellectual cowardice any longer - it is what it
is and UK.sci.astronomy has acted as a reflection of your nation,wish
I could report otherwise,but that is it.
