«This year's Nobel Laureates have been studying this fundamental problem and solved the mystery of how an inner clock in most of our cells in our bodies can anticipate daily
fluctuations between night and day to optimize our behavior and physiology... since the paradigm shifting discoveries by Hall, Rosbash and Young, circadian biology has developed into a highly dynamic research field with vast implications for our health and well - being.»
I can't find a single person who will affirm that all the effects within a 24 hour
day, including massive temperature
fluctuations between day and night, is due to one rotation of the planet
and that these
days never, ever fall out of step with rotations.The ideology which contemporaries have inherited from the late 17th century is that the Earth's rotation falls out of step with 24 hour
days to the tune of 4 extra rotations in 4 years by virtue of an utterly stupid idea that the planet's daily
and orbital motions can be modeled directly from a rotating celestial sphere of Ra / Dec observing.
