The difference between the solar day and the sidereal day is the same
as the difference between micky mouse and donald duck,they are
concepts that exist only in the imagination and are believed by those
who know no better.

The Equation of Time principles I have shown you are the basis of the
equable 24 hour day,you can actually see how that 24 hour clock day
was created by brilliant  men and then applied to terrestrial
longitudes,it is so well known through the Longitude story that only
with the greatest courtesy can I bring myself to  respond to a person
who assigns an alternative value (23 hours 56 minutes 04 seconds) for
clocks and axial rotation.

Is there so sort of perverse satisfaction is adhering to a solar/
sidereal conception for the Earth's axialand orbital motions based on
the calendar system ?.

John Harrison knew who he was dealing with,a slovenly bunch of
miserable and mediocre creatures who hate anything that is good and
worthwhile -

" But indeed, had I continued under the hands of the rude
commissioners, this completion,  or great accomplishment, neither
would, nor could, ever have been obtained; but however, providence
otherwise ordered the matter, and I  can now boldly say, that if the
provision for the heat and cold could  properly be in the balance
itself, as it is in the pendulum, the watch [or my longitude
time-keeper] would then perform to a few seconds in a year, yea, to
such perfection now are imaginary impossibilities conquered; so the
priests at Cambridge and Oxford, &c. may cease their pursuit in the
longitude affair, and as otherwise  then to occupy their time."

I have no intention of watching you lot maintain ideologies that
destroy the careful work of many civilisations so that you can be
impressed with yourselves.

The creation oif the 24 hour day by brilliant men is probably one of
humanity's greatest achievements ,the adaption of the 24 hour day to
axial rotation where the pace of a clock keeps in sync with axial
rotation is also one of the most pragmatic and basic facts known to
humanity.

Now,given that you numbskulls can't even get a basic fact right
insofar as you assign an alterantive value to axial rotation through
360 degrees and clcoks,specifically the value of 23 hours 56 minutes
04 seconds,I do not give a damn what you think or your pathetic
appeals.The work of very careful men is being overshadowed by careless
concepts from the late 17th century even as you miserable creatures
still use the clock/axial rotation correlation of 24 hours/360 degrees
is something else.

A fool is not capable of suspecting anything especially the most
obvious known fact that almost of the people on the planet
recognise,as people who profess an interest in ancient civilisations
and what they achievced,the very fact that you can ignore the recent
history of the Longitude story and how clocks resolved them must take
quite an effort.

You are too feebleminded to be part of any further discussion but I
would appeal to responsible people here to act with a little bit of
backbone in this very important matter.The creation of the 24 hour day
is a human creation with roots in most disciplines,the fact that
people here can act with authority and represent as accuarely as
possible how the human genius of the 24 hour day came to be adapted to
the Copernican principle of axial rotation as a cause for the daily
cycle.

You deserve each other,there is no doubt about that.

I would not care if any of you ever appreciated how the 24 hour day
was created out of the unequal length of the natural daily cycle,these
things are so exquisite that they do not admit appreciation by fools
who construct things after their own liking and care not for the
efforts of many great men over many eras and civilisations.

At least you are vocal and that is in your favor,those who reason that
silence is the best policy have the worse possible fate,if it can be
called that.Men who create fables,either technical or
historical,eventually are found out  and that you lot support an
ideology which rejects the creation of the equable  24 hour day and
its correlation to clocks,terrestrial longitudes and axial
rotation ,leaves you in a far worse position than those who supported
Piltdown man as a consensual advantageous proposal.

There may be genuine people who can make a difference and promote the
actual human achievement through the Equation of Time correction which
generates the 24 hour day out of the natural unequal day but it of
little use if they are not vocal about it.Saving future generations
from the late 17th century error is heroic for it involves so much of
human history in terms of discoveries,achievements and the integrity
of human knowledge in contrast to the meaningless bluff and bluster
that accompanies  those who live by trivia and have no intellectual or
intutive roots .

People live or fall by how they grow in wisdom and develop their
understandings,the actual principles which create the 24 hour day and
how it was adapted to axial rotation are comparable to any of the
great works of music,art and literature when appreciated
properly.There is no single answer but rather the ability to adopt the
correct working principles which our ancestors set out and improve on
them where possible,unfortunately an error in principle occured in the
late 17th century which turned a productive arena into a barren and
sterile one.

You can knowingly turn your faces away from the Longitudestory which
contains much of what I have already said and indeed many of the false
elements that were brought in to support celestial sphere geometry and
this convicts you more than anything else.Your call.
