Harrison checked the accuracy of the watch using the return of a star
3 minutes 56 seconds earlier each night but that is a calendar based
Ra/Dec convenience and does not apply to rotational or orbital
dynamics as the convenience of the system works only off the equable
365/366 day calendar system while the equable day/calendar system uses
natural noon for daily rotation while the orbital cycle uses the
stellar background -

"Here take notice, that the Sun or the Earth passeth the 12. Signes,
or makes an entire revolution in the Ecliptick in 365 days, 5 hours 49
min. or there about, and that those days, reckon'd from noon to noon,
are of different lenghts; as is known to all that are vers'd in
Astronomy." Huygens

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iF85O9SJCaE

A dumb empiricist jumps at the conclusion that the return of a star to
a meridian represents constant daily rotation when all it represents
is a calendar based timekeeping average,something totally different
than the reasoning which creates the 24 hour average using natural
noon and then transfers this observation to daily rotation as a
constant,although the original equable day/calendar system takes a
little effort to comprehend,there is nothing difficult in recognizing
how the 24 hours of Monday turn into the 24 hours of Tuesday and so
on as a timekeeping average,continue this way and allow daily
rotation to be considered by the same facility that creates the 24
hour day in the first place -

" Now between the longest and the shortest of those days, a day may be
taken of such a length, as 365 such days, 5. hours &c. (the same
numbers as before) make up, or are equall to that revolution: And this
is call'd the Equal or Mean day, according to which the Watches are to
be set; and therefore the Hour or Minute shew'd by the Watches, though
they be perfectly Iust and equal, must needs differ almost continually
from those that are shew'd by the Sun, or are reckon'd according to
its Motion. But this Difference is regular, and is otherwise call'd
the Aequation, " Huygens

http://www.xs4all.nl/~adcs/Huygens/06/kort-E.html

So here we have Harrison and Huygens working through the development
of details needed to use clocks as rulers of distance by tranfering
time to distance organised around the Earth's rotational
characteristics and geometry.

The Earth's Equatorial circumference is 40,075 km and divided into 15
degree/1 hour divisions amounts to 1669.8 km therefore the turn though
15 degrees in 1 hour or 1 degree in 4 minutes,at 60 degrees latitude
the Earth turns at 837 km per hour and 55.8 km every 4 minutes -

I will not beg the question as to what distance you think the Earth
covers through 15 degrees of rotation using the 'sidereal time' value
as the great works of the inventors and astronomers have been treated
rudely for far too long among people with the worst possible
intentions,for you it is a game but for me it is my astronomical
history you are distorting .

Another day goes by without any hint that it is dawning on people that
the basic planetary facts of rotation and dimensions are lost through
the 'sidereal time' reasoning which tries to compete with ancient
traditions which support only the 24 hour value and the proper
references assigned to planetary and orbital dynamics through the
appropriate references.

I do not know what to think of people who know full well that a
collapse of Western sciences in astronomy,planetary dynamics and
terrestrial effects of these dynamics has ultra severe consequences
insofar as it is impossible to fit the 23 hour 56 minute 04 second
value into planetary geography organised around the maximum/minimum
rotational speeds.It is by far the darkest period known to humanity in
these areas for it undoes some of the great achievements of
astronomers stretching back to antiquity.

Treason is a criminal offence and Western traditions,while not
particular to an individual country,have suffered its worst assault by
the empirical cult because it rots our heritage using the education
system and perpetuates itself that way,the other option is a fool's
pardon and that is what is assigned to you.

That's right, Harrison knew that the earth's 360° rotation completed
3 minutes 56 seconds earlier each night. Harrison was no dummy.

If the frame is rotating at a constant speed, the two objects will be
stationary when at their furthest distance apart, but will accelerate
"sideways" as they fall toward each other, because of the Coriolis
force.
==============================================
http://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/(Gh)/guides/mtr/fw/gifs/coriolis.mov

The ball is travelling in a perfect straight line (without friction, an
artefact of doing the experiment on the earth's surface).
There is no such animal as Coriolis "force".

So they will have a non-zero angular velocity, even in the
rotating frame, for almost all of each orbital revolution.
===============================================
There is no such animal as Coriolis "force", so your "so"
doesn't follow.
===============================================

The point is that there is a unique non-rotating frame in which the
objects fall directly toward each other.
===============================================
The point is, you said
"The lateral component need not exist if the frame of reference is
rotating in an absolute sense".
Now you say 'will accelerate "sideways" as they fall toward each
other, because of the Coriolis force.'

Which is it?
===============================================
All other frames are
rotating, in an absolute sense, and the behaviour of the objects is
different.

===============================================
When Newton said:
LAW I.
Every body perseveres in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a right
line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed
thereon,
he was not talking about rotating frames.
You are.

Newton wasn't a modern cosmologist. I doubt that he'd have made that
speculation if he'd known about cosmological expansion, or the concept
of a boundless universe.
===============================================
He'd laugh at all of you, as I do. Newton was a scientist and mathematician,
not a modern cosmologist who mumbles Coriolis "force".
===============================================


However, at any given location, such as our own, there is something
against which we can measure velocity. This is the cosmic background
radiation. To an observer with some velocity, which we can take to be
zero, the radiation is essentially isotropic in all directions. To an
observer who is moving relative to this zero, the radiation is
blueshifted when viewed in his direction of motion, and redshifted in
the reverse direction.

=============================================
So go to a point in space where the shift is zero, and stay there.
You'll be in Newton's absolute space. You can call that point the
"origin" if you like, Newton won't mind.
It's not Newton's fault the the Solar system is moving through the
CMBR.


=============================================
Einstein said that all linear (as opposed to
rotational) motion is relative, with no absolute zero.
=============================================
Did he? Cite where.
I'll tell ya something. Rotational motion is relative, that's
how it was discovered that the Earth goes around the Sun
and not the Sun around the Earth once a day as we see it.
Do you think the idiot Einstein discovered that?
Copernicus may have something to say about that.
=============================================

But Einstein
wasn't a modern cosmologist either. The background radiation wasn't
known in his time (except, I think, at the very end of his life).


=============================================
Einstein died in 1956.
The CMBR was discovered in 1964.
You are guessing, wildly.
What's the big deal about being a modern cosmologist?
They are all idiots anyway...

You can't give me a single site referencing the development of
accurate clocks based on planetary geometry and organised around its
rotational characteristics of 24 hours when I can promote any amount
of historical references from any point of view,The attempt to
diminish the principles which support rotation at a rate of 15 degrees
per hour include ignoring some of the greatest engineering
advancement by one person ,something like the engineering effort to
put men on the moon -

http://books.google.com/books?id=b5Wsw3rYVbEC&printsec=frontcover&dq=time+restored&ei=9pfoSb2GMKTYMNW4wccF#v=onepage&q=&f=false

People like you are interested in novelistic junk which can't be
challenged and that is fine as far as I am concerned,the real sciences
of planetary dynamics and their effects would only interest people who
can think for themselves instead of being stuck inside somebody else's
17th century imagination.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROz0-4ymuXQ

Checking the accuracy of a watch using the Ra/Dec system where a star
returns 3 minutes 56 seconds earlier to the same meridian each night
is just a wonderful timekeeping average based on the calendar system
and can be enjoyed when appreciated in that light but only the dumbest
would launch into a conclusion that it represents a basis for
planetary dynamics in spite of thousands of years of astronomy
dictating that the reference for theannual motion of the Earth is the
return of a star to a meridian while the Sun provides the reference
for the daily motion of the Earth.

The same guys who can't tell you what distance does the Earth's
Equator cover through 360 degrees of rotation are the same ones
promoting 'time travel' , the 'big bang' and now with those stupid
concepts played out are moving into the climate arena.

Newton was indeed a mathematician and would not have had the ability
to spot the dangers of projecting the Earth's rotational geometry into
space and coming to a conclusion which beggars belief in attempting to
force right ascension into the isolated dynamic of daily rotation
insofar as it equates a rotating celestial sphere with a stationary
Earth and a rotating Earth with a stationary celestial sphere.They
knew of this observation back in the early 16th century and looked at
it with horror and eventually came up with the arguments for planetary
dynamics to account for the observation -

"And wherever anyone would be, he would believe himself to be at the
center.Therefore, merge these different imaginative pictures so that
the center is the zenith and vice versa. Thereupon you will see--
through the intellect..that the world and its motion and shape cannot
be apprehended. For [the world] will appear as a wheel in a wheel and
a sphere in a sphere-- having its center and circumference
nowhere. . . " Nicolas of Cusa

Today they embrace the horror as the 'big bang' and celebrate what men
once ran from ,all because Isaac did not spot the flaw of the
equatorial coordinate system which helps astronomers keep their
telescopes tracking objects within the 365/366 day calendar system.

As far as it goes,I have yet to see a single dynamicist ,apart from
Mach,come within a hundred miles of what Isaac was actually doing so
laugh all you will,you are still running inside the cage Newton
created for you or rather the celestial sphere cage constructed by
Flamsteed.
