The Equation of Time cannot be explained by using the daily and
orbital dynamics of the Earth as there are 1461 natural noon cycles in
4 orbital circuits of the Earth corresponding to 1461 full days of 24
hours.

Flinging web references at the guy,and especially that convoluted junk
found in Wikipedia, merely exposes *the inability to put the noon
correction between the natural cycle and the 24 hour cycle in context
of the system containing 1461 such corrections.

Sorry, Gerald, this is way, way beyond your capabilities.

You have your cranial calculator so permanently embedded in its rectal
storage facility that you may never again learn anything new.

As someone famous once said, 'A little knowledge is a dangerous
thing'.
