Default Adults required

The behavior towards known planetary facts is unconscionable and
surely somebody else must be feeling it acutely,after all,what could
possibly be in anyway difficult is reasoning out cause and effect
based on known rotational speeds and that daily rotation is the cause
of the daylight/darkness cycle.

This should not be acceptable for a single day let alone the 8 years
since the error was pointed out,the error created by Flamsteed, for
what could be worse than a deliberate indifference to something which
has the same level of comprehension as wind has to wave heights,the
slower the rotational speed at a given latitude away from the
equator,the longer the twilight with 1037.5 miles per hour being the
maximum equatorial speed.

All the resentment directed towards me is not going to do anything to
solve this crisis and if people assume that they have to go through
Kepler in order to follow Newton then they are wrong,the point of
departure is the basic rotation of the Earth and its effects,firstly
the daylight/darkness cycle and then the spherical extension of
twilight variations,something which is not possible to express using
the Ra/Dec reasoning for daily rotation.

The loss of planetary facts to a dominant group is extremely difficult
to bear,not because people make a living out of throwing around
associations with Newton,Einstein and so on but just people who have
no financial stake in the matter and who genuinely want to be
considered astronomers by virtue of a magnification exercise.What
possible good can come out of being hostile to what is a simple and
effect proof for a round and rotating Earth using known rotational
speeds as proof for rotation once in 24 hours regardless of how
inconvenient it may be for the prediction/modelling agendas,maybe
individuals can ask that of themselves that question because I
certainly cannot answer as to why this is happening in an era of
supreme technological achievement

Adults are not acting like adults and that may be the only conclusion
I can draw from this forum,the attempt to be drawn into a usenet brawl
has failed as it is only a matter of finding a more appropriate and
responsible group who will discover just how far people are willing to
go to be indifferent to basic planetary facts let alone the effects of
planetary dynamics and insofar as empiricists have no compunction in
mixing fiction with facts,the effects of these shortcuts have been
catastrophic.

Something has to give here and what that is I cannot imagine.
