Default Clarity of an astronomical distinction

The great Western astronomical insights are founded on the correct way
to approach and resolve the observed behavior of the other
planets,Copernicus accomplished this by infering an orbital motion
between Venus and Mars leaving axial rotation to explain the daily
cycle.The affirmation of this was the emergence of the correlation
which keep clocks in sync witn axial rotation at 15 degrees per hour
making 24 hours in total.The complimentary and secondary affirmation
of Copernican heliocentric reasoning is thereby affirmed via the
principles found in the determination of geographical position via
terrestrial longitudes -

'How by Observing the Rising and Setting of the Sun, and the Time by
the Watches, the Longitude at Sea may be found.'


" This way doth neither require the Knowledge of the Hight of the
Pole, nor of the Declination of the Sun, nor the Use of any
Astronomical Instruments: Neither can the Refraction of the Sun or
Stars cause any considerable Error, the refraction of the Morning
differing but little or nothing from that of the Evening of one and
the same day, especially at Sea. Thus then you are to proceed;
At the Rising and Setting of the Sun, when it is half above the
Horison, marke the time of the day, which the Watches then shew; and
though you have in the mean time sayl'd on, it is not considerable.
Then reckon by the Watches, what time is elaps'd between them, and
add
the half thereof to the time of the Rising, and you shall have the
time by the Watches, when the Sun was at South; to which is to be
added the Aequation of the present day by the Table. And if this
together makes 12. hours, then was the ship at Noon under the same
Meridian, where the Watches were set with the Sun. But if the summe be
more than 12, then was she at Noon under a more Westerly Meridian: and
if less, then under a more Easterly; and that by as many times 15.
degrees, as that Summe exceeds or comes short hours of 12: as the
Calculation thereof hath been already deliver'd." Huygens

There exists no responsible astronomical authority,at least
presently,to deal with the awful mutations that occured in the late
17th century which destroys the two main Western astronomical
insights.Flamsteed's false correlation centering on the 23 hour 56
minute 04 second value allied with the false approach to and
resolution of the observed behavior of the planets by Newton represent
the greatest individual astronomical mistakes with the effect of
generating conter-productive concepts.

Western civilisation through its promottion of false achievements is
rotting from the inside with no responsible or courageous individuals
willing to stop the rot.The obvious dichotomy between the correct set
of principles where the 24 hour/360 degree correlation affirms
Copernican reasoning while the 23 hour 56 minute 04 second/360 degree
value represents a rejection of Copernican reasoning is the clearest
possible way to frame the situation whether men choose to deal with it
or not.
