Had one person appreciated how the equable 24 hour day was a product
of reducing the variations of the natural day to a 24 hour day and
then when axial rotation was discovered,the technical feat of allowing
24 hours to elapse seamlessly into the next 24 hours was transfered to
the principle that axial rotation and clocks remain always in sync at
15 degrees per hour and 24 hours through 360 degrees.

Do you honestly believe the earth rotates exactly 360 degrees in 24
hours?

I've asked you this question several times. You always ignore it.
Sometimes you reply a long nonsense post, but this calls for one
word. Yes or no - do you honestly believe the earth rotates exactly
once in 24 hours?

Paris, 1 February 2007


Bulletin C 33

To authorities responsible
for the measurement and
distribution of time



INFORMATION ON UTC - TAI


NO positive leap second will be introduced at the end of June 2007.
The difference between Coordinated Universal Time UTC and the
International Atomic Time TAI is :
from 2006 January 1, 0h UTC, until further notice : UTC-TAI = -33 s

Leap seconds can be introduced in UTC at the end of the months of
December
or June, depending on the evolution of UT1-TAI. Bulletin C is mailed
every
six months, either to announce a time step in UTC, or to confirm that
there
will be no time step at the next possible date.

Exactly. Disabusing people like this of their cherished notions is a
potentially dangerous thing.

Do you honestly believe the earth rotates exactly 360 degrees in 24
hours?

Do you know what the word 'correlation' means ?.

Do you know how the pace of a clock hour,minute and second correlates
with axial rotation in terms of longitudinal seperation based on 4
minutes for each degree of geographical seperation making 24 hours/360
degrees ?

Do you understand that the human devised principles for the equable 24
hour day does not require an external reference and there is none to
be found hence the Equation of Time ?

Do you clearly understand that the noon Equation of Time correction
keeps the 24 hour day constant and seamlessly elapsing into the next
24 hour day ?

Do you clearly understand that Copernicus discovered axial rotation
causes the daily cycle ?

Do you understand how the heliocentric astronomers made excellent use
of the older principles which create the equable 24 hour day,how they
just overlayed the principles which create the 24 hour day on top of
terrestrial longitudes ?.

Do you understand that in order for the clock/axial correlation to
work,the Equation of Time had to be applied ?

Considering that it is many years since I actively promoted the
astronomical timekeeping system which keep clocks in sync with axial
rotation and I have still to see one person here grasp the basics,even
when most have heard how clocks resolved longitude.

The value which you assign to axial rotation and the justification is
outright fundamentalism,worse still,it appears to be in the majority -

http://hypertextbook.com/facts/1999/JennyChen.shtml

God forbid you ever know just how bad things actually are,I assure you
that you need a Christian faith to deal with a fundamentalist/cult
approach to topics which should not last a week if any real authority
existed.

Lets face it.......the French have decimalised just about every other common
measure......mass, length, speed, volume........why not time??

'Leap seconds' must sound great to those who know no better but it has
none of the pedigree of the ancient timekeeping system which keep
clocks in sync with axial rotation at precisely 4 minutes for each
degree of rotation.

Had one person appreciated how the equable 24 hour day was a product
of reducing the variations of the natural day to a 24 hour day and
then when axial rotation was discovered,the technical feat of allowing
24 hours to elapse seamlessly into the next 24 hours was transfered to
the principle that axial rotation and clocks remain always in sync at
15 degrees per hour and 24 hours through 360 degrees.

The principle of leap seconds is little more than empirical
fundamentalism,the inability to appreciate that there are 86 ,400
seconds added every 4th year in order to break the celestial sphere
cycle into 3 sections of 365 days and 1 section of 366 days.
