Time dilation measured in lab at 0.4C

This is early 20th century empirical rubbish which not only distracts
from the wonders of the celestial arena, it does so in a specific
way.The whole issue centers on the Equation of Time and a
mathematician's idiosyncratic version of the difference between the 24
AM/PM cycle and the variations in the natural noon cycle -

No. Special relativistic time dilation has nothing at all to do
with the Equation of Time. (Okay, they both have "time" in their
name. That's about it.)
