If your stellar circumpolar view is coming up with 1465 rotations in
the same time the Earth makes 4 circuits of the Sun then days and
rotations will fall out of sync so you find yourself unable to
understand or explain why all the experiences within a 24 hour day is
a direct result of a rotating Earth.A flat-Earther cannot reason above
his view that the Earth looks flat so it must be flat and can't manage
to raise himself to a wider perspective and your view is even worse
for if you had checked the number of days across 4 years you would
find the Earth turns 1461 times so we are talking arithmetic here even
before getting into the technicalities of how days/years correspond to
rotations/orbital circuits.

What happens is that silence speaks volumes ,it is not just that the
flow of information from astronomy to terrestrial sciences ceases but
also the connection between the individual and his natural
surroundings,for all out great technological advancement we are
completely ignorant of natural sciences where our ancestors were not.

The Earth's equatorial speed of 1037.5 miles per hour or a rate of 15
degrees of rotation is crucial for such things as evolutionary geology
and why people experience earthquakes in context of the wider picture
of plate tectonics.I set out the arguments for a rotational mechanism
that dovetails nicely with the planet's 26 mile spherical deviation as
having the highest probability of success but see it now mangled by
those who are careless and reckless with the hypothesis.It is
therefore not just about the Earth turning once in a day but a point
of departure for all terrestrial sciences and that is not going to
happen with something as utterly ridiculous as a concept which is
below even that of a flat-Earther.

Do you not like the fact that today ,the 19th May 2012 is one rotation
of the planet ? - the fact is not that you don't know it but that it
is a badge of empirical acceptance that you ignore it - a sort of
empirical 2+2=5.

Good luck looking into a black hole.  Heck, we can't even see the
*outside* of the universe.

And who's to say that it is even possible for us to perceive and measure
reality?  There's all kinds of theories about anti-matter, dark matter,
dark energy, etc.

I expect what was meant was that the thing oriel36 offers nothing better
than is "the crude physical laws", not "incorruptable and eternal cycles".
That is, the IaEC is in fact a worse idea than tCPL.  That is, after all,
largely *why* astronomers quite reasonably abandoned IaEC for tCPL.

Futhermore...
Kepler-22b is the *first* to be called a Super-Earth. How can that be when they didn't even have
a crucial piece of information: Kepler-22b's mass?

Of course, they don't feel they have to prove anything 'they just made-up'.

Mendacity.

The Starmaker

Most of time is wasted in the 'scientific community' having to prove 'stuff they just made-up'.
They 'make-up the stuff', then they got to come up with a defintion for it, then they got to
put it up on Wiki, then they got to put it in all the textbooks, newspapers, magzines, media, ..then t
hey got to get government funding for the stuff they just made-up.., then...they have to go on Usenet and
convince stupid people like me that Super-Earth exist. What a waste of time. It's just ...Mendacity.

If you insist on circular orbits, then there are NO planets in our solar
system.  All of the planets, including Earth, have elliptical orbits.

This sent me off to find out how elliptic our planets orbits actually
are since I realised I had no visceral feel for it, and only really
recalled Pluto's wandering inside Neptune's radius.

Turns out that Venus and Neptune are roundest with eccentricities of
.007 and .009 respectively, and the earth comes in third at 0.017. At
the other end, Mercury is only 20% less eccentric than Pluto! Much
smaller radius orbit so it doesn't show so much - though useful for
testing relativity back in the day, of course.

Table at the bottom of this page, for others interested:

That eccentricity is why the tidal lock didn't result in a permanent
day.

The issue over the planet definition is not an isolated case,it comes
from a community with a muddled view of things while the community
itself is a loose cohesion bound together using wages and reputation
rather than any intellectual depth.All in all,an immensely difficult
problem that is far harder to deal with than any technical issue

People who can't accept that one 24 hour day and one 360 degree
rotation of the Earth keep in step don't really have questions nor
answers yet Newton's vicious strain of empiricism is based on an
imbalance which swirls around all that lingo of absolute/relative
time,space and motion.It is such a peculiar thing that even when the
entire line of reasoning is explained with all the references needed
to mesh the AM/PM system with the Lat/Long system,there is not the
slightest hint of recognition - not from one person in well over a
decade.

The first nation to adopt the proper perspectives and teach them to
their students will have a incredible advantage over nations that do
not.

You should know perfectly well how well Newton's empiricism and
Einstein's relativity work for designing cannons and atomic bombs.
Replacing them with a framework of thought about astronomy that
involves merely passively standing in awe at the wonderful spectacle
does _not_ promise an advantage over other nations of the kind that
matters to politicians.

So, in over 10 year of explaining you haven't found a single person that

I have considered many things and especially why an entire generation
of people with incredibly advanced technology could lose touch with a
primary experience that links cause and effect - the fact that you
will wake up to a new day and cannot assign a proper cause as the
Earth turns in its daily cycle and does so 1461 times it takes to
complete 4 circuits of the Sun.

So,differing points of view are fine when there is a certain standard
of perceptual and factual intelligence but no such standard exists and
cannot exist as long as the educational and research community rejects
something as obvious and simple as the Earth turns 15 degrees per hour
and its entire 24901 mile circumference in 24 hours.Again,having
trillions of dollars worth of technology comes to nothing if it is not
used properly at scales of time and space that go beyond immediate
experience such as the 24 hour day and its cause and on to the greater
cycles.

If you add "relative to the sun" in there, I agree with you. Noon to
Noon is 24 hours, but it's more than 360 degrees of rotation, due to
Earth moving slightly in it's orbit.

I have put together a simple animated simulation of an exaggerated
situation to illustrate my view of the situation.

Feel free to point out, in detail, where you think it is wrong. Or maybe
you could produce something similar to illustrate how things work in
your world?

You can't help yourselves.the are 7 days in proportion to one week,the
geometric proportion of 3.1415 diameters to one circumference,there
are a proportion of 1461 days to 4 years and 1461 rotations to 4
circuits of the Sun so if you want to bounce rotation as an
independent motion off something,do it against the orbital
circumference where you will discover why the extra 24 hour day and
rotation is needed to close out 4 orbital circuits of the planet as
opposed to a continuous proportion of 365 rotations.

We should be discussing the uneven rotational gradient between equator
and polar latitudes which is responsible for the planet's 26 mile
spherical deviation,how the surface crust evolves and moves in
response to this differential rotation and how to eek out a planet's
magnetic field from similar causes by usingg Venus as a comparison
instead of trying to convince people the Earth turns once in 24 hours.

The Earth has a maximum equatorial speed of 1037.5 miles per hour and
turning its full 360 degree circumference in 24 hours,it people get a
perverse kick from imagining 1465 rotations in 4 orbital circuits of
an alternative equatorial speed then there is nothing I could do about
it even if there is no much expenditure on time,space on motion based
on the errant view.

In short,I have moved on even if nobody else has or wants to.

Becayse a bunch of early peaceful agrarian reformers liked the number "7".

approximately

Well, sure, if you wanted to look at it completely bass-ackwards.
And one could push a pebble up a mountain with your nose.
Neither are particularly sensible ways to proceed to achieve the
goal of understanding rotation and orbit, nor pebble-elevation.

Sure, you can always tie yourself in knotts supposing the sun's period
is somehow fundamental, despite all the abundant evidence that it's a
particularly dim-witted supposition.  You can always suppose that celestial
bodies follow entirely different laws than ordinary everyday bodies, despite
the rather obvious evidence that they do.  You can always find a way to do
*anything* completely arse-uppards.

As oriel36 demonstrates on a daily basis.

  You still haven't explained how to tell the Earth has completed one

(all of which move, disqualifying them as stable references).

  Think in cylindrical coordinates. Makes everything much more
obvious.

  24 hours is still sheer numerology.

  That is not noon-to-noon.

  Then you have moved on prematurely.
