Coming from people who imagine more rotations than sunrises/sunsets via a 'solar vs sidereal' fiction that means absolutely nothing -
" During one orbit around the Sun, Earth rotates about its own axis 366.26 times " Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth
I wouldn't expect any type of reasonable conversation from cultists who can't put the development of the timekeeping system in order as they imagine the 24 hour day simply popped into existence and then go on to create a mismatch between days and rotations.
What happened is truly fascinating, greater than any story ,event or topic that occupies humanity at the moment however it is one of those things where familiarity is as crucial as getting eyesight used to a dark sky. Of course it involves spirit,courage,intelligence and all those positive human traits that are rarely seen in a forum now dominated by mediocrity.
