Default The first step for mankind in a long time

As the Earth turns,it creates the daylight/darkness cycle -

This effect is due to to rotation therefore the next effect will be
due to the next fact that the Earth is not only rotating but round
hence the latitudinal variations in twilight as an extension of the
most basic cause and effect between planetary dynamics and terrestrial
experiences.The information that any given location at the equator is
transiting through the circle of illumination at 1037.5 miles per hour
while at 60 degrees latitude North/South,the rotational speed is 800
miles per hour is clear enough to forward the conclusion that slower
rotational speeds result in longer twilights than at the maximum
equatorial speed at the equator aside from any seasonal variation.


The current empirical explanation for twilight variations at different
latitudes is hideous as expected and unfit for any sane or intelligent
person in the 21st century,the geocentric idea that the angle of the
apparent motion of the Sun influences twilight variations is useful in
presenting the scandalous behavior of everyone in allowing these
things to persist in an era when we can actually view the Earth's
daily rotation from space thereby resolving the cause and effect
directly -

" This is because at low latitudes the sun's apparent movement is
perpendicular to the observer's horizon. As one gets closer to the
Arctic and Antarctic circles, the sun's disk moves toward the
observer's horizon at a lower angle. The observer's earthly location
will pass through the various twilight zones less directly, taking
more time."

As there is no specific organisation or institution that can handle
the basic insight linking cause and effect and presently, no
astronomers worthy of the name,this newsgroup will simply have to do
until people become more responsive and responsible.
