Well i did Sam it is the time it takes for the Earth to complete one rotation relative to the vernal equinox. And i guess that would be relative a fix star, so you say basicly that absolute rotation is relative fixed stars in the sky, i will buy that when you propose a force from those stars that is able to create the centripetal and centrifugal forces that a disc that spin relative them will produce. So what is this farfield force called, it can not be gravitation that name is already taken and it diminish by the inverse square law and those stars to far away to be responsible for your *****dreamed up****** centrifugal and centripetal forces in deep space. So why does your dreamed up centrifugal and centripetal forces care about the rotation versus the siderial day. Maybe time to pondering............... JT

Is that angular velocity versus what sun fixed stars........ or what? Is it also the absolute rotation? JT
