The Earth rotates through 360 degrees in 24 hours,period.
George Dishman wrote No, 23h 56m 4s. There are certain statement which cannot be reduced further such as why clocks register the rotation rate of the Earth through 360 degrees in 24 hours,disagree with it such as the adoption of the sidereal value of 23 hours 56 min 04 sec through 360 degrees and it too amounts to a definite statement ,much as the creationists are positively certain that the Earth is 6000 years old. How counterintuitive is relativity and opposed to common sense,well if men can't figure out what the most fundamental rotation of all is - the Earth rotation on its axis and the 24 hour/360 degree equivalency,it sure is opposed to common sense and marks us as a civilisation that loved the gutter. The puppet show of Einstein/Newton may somehow constitute the worse epoch in human endeavor with no central correction system to correct truly awful lapse in reasoning that mark us as the most intellectually weak people ever to inhabit the planet,period. |

Since I'm in the mood to rant, Gerald, and you have provided some entertainment, here's a little quiz question for you if you'd care to try it. If you adjust the rate of a clock at mid-day to record 24 hours for each 360 degree rotation of the Earth, how many days pass before the Sun rises at midnight? It's all right, I'm not expecting an answer. Who am I to dim the blinding light of your intellect with the mundane practicalities of reality? Denis -- DT Replace nospam with the antithesis of hills |

It's all right, I'm not expecting an answer. Who am I to dim the blinding light of your intellect with the mundane practicalities of reality? Denis Noon is a precise geometric term,it is when a longitude meridian rotates to face the Sun directly,this is kid's stuff and no offense intended. You remain in intellectual kindergarden with terms such as mid-day and midnight which are terms that have no bearing on the Equation of Time and the noon adjustment.The EoT serves the purpose of facilitating the seamless transition from one 24 hour day to the next even though there is an natural observed asymmetry between each complete axial rotation,hence the isolation of axial rotation to 24 hours/360 degrees via the EoT. The determination of the 24 hour day via the EoT makes the calendar system possible for the annual cycle is based on the equable 24 hour day as 365 days 5 hours 49 min.The calendrical drift which required the Gregorian correction where festivals were drifting against the seasons are peculiarities restricted to the calendar system and do not affect the determination of the 24 hour/360 degree equivalency which is based on the EoT loop system where there are no fractions to take into account against the annual cycle. The EoT table below is adequate for your answer,if you are not capable of determining why it is required to determine the 24 hour/360 degree equivalency first before you construct the calendar system,it is no longer my business to recycle the whole presentation again. http://www.burnley.gov.uk/towneley/tryall/eot3.htm If you wish to remain astronomical creationists and incorrectly determine the wrong value for rotation of the Earth through 360 degrees (sidereal value) that is your business for I would not go out of my way to convince the other creationists that they are incorrect. In closing,early 20th century thinking is based on the notion that there are no galaxies.From the vantage point of 2004 data,the ideas of relativity are primitive especially when it speaks on cosmological structure and motion.The originator of relativity dismisses the notion of galaxies in 1920 for he knew no better and it appears that you and your colleagues have followed him. Insofar as your primitive notions and errors can be traced to the foundations of the 24 hour day via the EoT,clocks,geometry and astronomy I leave you to admire your relativistic nonsense where there are stars everywhere and galaxies nowhere. "There are stars everywhere, so that the density of matter, although very variable in detail, is nevertheless on the average everywhere the same. In other words: However far we might travel through space, we should find everywhere an attenuated swarm of fixed stars of approximately the same kind and density. This view is not in harmony with the theory of Newton. The latter theory rather requires that the universe should have a kind of centre in which the density of the stars is a maximum, and that as we proceed outwards from this centre the group-density of the stars should diminish, until finally, at great distances, it is succeeded by an infinite region of emptiness. The stellar universe ought to be a finite island in the infinite ocean of space. " http://www.bartleby.com/173/30.html You are correct,the stuff from 1920 is beneath me as you are,at least it appears that you want to remain with your stellar circumpolar universe and there is nothing I can do about it. |

I'm not trying to be tricky, I just want you to try and think outside your particular box. I'll accept plus or minus 2 days, how's that? You understand the concept of tolerances surely? ;-) Denis -- DT Replace nospam with the antithesis of hills |
