You have disgraced yourselves,things known a millenia ago seem beyond

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?

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.

Come on Gerald! 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?

There is no box,there are graphic tools which can explain exactly how
the 24 hour/360 degree equivalency is determined by the Earth's
rotation and the fact that it is noon along any given longitude
meridian on the surface of the planet.

I will only note that anyone good at graphics can explain why clocks
were developed as rulers of distance using the EoT computation and I
assure you that I am the greatest proponent of modern graphic tools
to sweep through the utter garbage where men define the Earth's 360
degree axial rotation directly to stellar circumpolar motion and the
sidereal value.

I suspect you would rather remain with relativistic wordplays than
actually absorb what Newton wrote even when graphics are before you.

"It is indeed a matter of great difficulty to discover, and
effectually to distinguish, the true motion of particular bodies from
the apparent; because the parts of that immovable space, in which
those motions are performed, do by no means come under the observation
of our senses. Yet the thing is not altogether desperate; for we have
some arguments to guide us, partly from the apparent motions, which
are the differences of the true motions; partly from the forces, which
are the causes and effects of the true motion.@

Like you, there are many things I don't know, but I am sufficiently
familiar with Newton's work, in the fields of political assassination as
well as alchemy and 'fysiks', to know that your interpretation, along
with your answer to a simple question, is entirely in error.
Have you the stature to consider that you may just possibly be wrong?

"As regards space (and time) the universe is infinite. 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. 1
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."

Cut through all the relativistic garbage and at the bottom of it are
those two paragraphs.

Most people who have a passing interest in the structure of the
Universe would find Albert's 1920 comments to be entirely laughable
yet it is still the height of fashion.The poor guy had an
excuse,galaxies other than our own and stellar rotation around the
galactic axis was not discovered until 1923,Albert's universe not only
does not make a provision for galactic structures but more or less
uses Newton to argue against it.

Gerald reminds me of something my youngest daughter said a while ago.
"I found this toy daddy, and I tried to play with it, but it was broken.
Can you fix it?"
I had a go, but it was too badly damaged!
