Default Making astronomy attractive for experimentalists

https://freshcalendars.com/calendar/...ble-Format.jpg

The inability to assign one rotation to each of those 24 hour days is perhaps not only the point at which astronomy as an intellectual discipline totally disappears insofar as cause and effect (sunrise/sunset, noon, temperature and tides risings and falling, Sun in view followed by the stars) is dependent on each rotation anchored to noon but also there is no point of departure for discussing anything else.

It doesn't matter if a person calls themselves a theorist or an empirical follower, the mania of modelling with timekeeping while losing cause and effect will create monstrosities of the mind which are unhealthy for all humanity. This is no understatement as a mind stuck in a rut can't use their normal faculties and those intuitions which make sense of the day and year as representing the motions of the Earth to the Sun and around the Sun.

As long as the original errors prevail then genuine astronomical research becomes impossible so while the narrative of mathematical theorists become more adrift from observations, the opportunity is for astronomy to emerge for those only interested in cause and effect as they experience them and then on to interpretative astronomy on a solar system scale.

People who live in their heads with characters and a narrative that supports a fiction of more rotations than 24 hour days are wasting their lives by having no connection with their experiences of the motions of the Earth and that is horrifying comparing with a flat-Earth conviction as it draws its conviction from not exercising logic, reason and experience. I can't imagine what it must feel like to live with a conviction that displays an anti-intelligence while calling it 'counter-intuitive' so the purpose for the last number of years is to present topics that should appeal to hose who are over the flaws of the late 17th century timekeeping modelling including the so-called 'inverse square law' which kicked the whole thing off.
