Eyes on the solar system

I would encourage readers not to interact with the Gerald Kelleher troll. You will be wasting your own time and, more importantly, you will also be encouraging Gerald to continue in his self-harming activities.

Gerald, because of the very severe and life-long condition from which he suffers, is unable to accept anything that differs from his own unique view of the world. Getting him to change his mind is not possible nor is getting him to respond to questions.

Equally important is that many regulars remain totally unconvinced that Gerald believes most of the voodoo he keeps chanting out. Some of his favourite topics from the past have been quietly dropped from his menu and this probably reflects the fact that he has finally realised that on that particular issue he was 100% wrong?

The way he seems to endlessly repeats variations of the same anti-social behaviour is just a symptom of his serious illness. He quite literally cannot stop himself from posting - it has pretty much become his "life". It is hard to find any evidence that he has an existence outside his handful of trivial obsessions.

The solar day is 24 hours long, and so time zones are 15 degrees wide.

No conflict at all - the physical rotation period of the Earth being different,
because the Earth orbits the Sun, doesn't contradict the fact that the length
of the day, which is so important a cycle, relates to the Sun and not the stars.

... as previously explained to Gerald, perhaps 1461 times already...

... so clearly, at this point in time, Gerald is just an outright liar, when stating that "no one" sees things his way...

Calling me a 'liar' doesn't work no more than all the other insults and more importantly this week where the human spirit is celebrated -

Understand that every time you claim that "...after a decade in this forum where not a single observer has promoted the actual system where days and rotations keep in step", you are repeating a lie, and are therefore proven to be a liar.

Listen to me very carefully.

A co-pilot set out last week to purposely crash a plane into an Alpine ravine thereby using one of the greatest innovations of the 20th century, an airplane in this case, to achieve his purpose.

You horrible people come here each and every day with the notion that there are 366 1/4 rotations inside an orbital circuit by using one of the greatest innovations of the 17th and 18th century, in this case an accurate watch, to drive astronomy into the ground.

There is a lethal indifference to common sense and there is something chilling about the abnormality where the captain pleaded with the co-pilot to let him in but was met with a silence of a person determined to carry out his own personal agenda at the expense of innocent people.

Listen to me you horrible piece of work and all those like you - there is nothing other than 365 1/4 rotations within an orbital circumference which spreads out to 1461 rotations inside four orbital circuits which in turn is formatted as full rotations within the calendar framework. Be silent if you wish or scream all you like, it doesn't change those facts which you cretins have tried to do.
