Lat/Long and AM/PM system for Mars
Very few civilizations have done what this present one has done in
taking a shortcut with the Ra/Dec extensions to the core foundations which tie planetary dynamics to local timekeeping - specifically the main proportion which equates rotations (to the nearest rotation) to the orbital circumference of a planet ,in our planet's case ,1461 rotations to 4 orbital circuits which reduces to 365 1/4 rotations to one circuit. I am exceptionally proud of explaining the cause of the differences between the natural variations in the noon cycles as opposed to the standard progression of 24 hour cycles in terms of actual dynamics and the formatting of the 1461 rotations into the familiar calendar system and likewise,this would have to follow roughly the same procedure for Mars where a few core facts will dictate the necessary modifications applied to Mars. Obviously civilizations in antiquity and up to the time of the creation of the Lat/Long system in tandem with the 24 hour AM/PM cycle did not need goading or incentives,they simply adapted their observations to create the systems we all use day in and day out.There is always a chance for people to redeem themselves,in creating a calendar system for Mars and then applying the Lat/Long system where Mars turns 552 miles per (Mars) hours just as the equatorial Earth turns 1037.5 miles per hour,the latter value has to be accepted. I cannot see what our era hopes to achieve by knowingly ignoring a system that we inherited,is flawed in its conclusions but still useful for timekeeping purposes and predictions,whether I have the talent to explain where the cracks are with current understanding and others do not,the issues will be there for everyone to consider. |
