Talk:Sidereal time

message: The article states that "after a year has passed, one additional sidereal "day" has elapsed compared to the number of solar days that have gone by". I believe this is precisely backwards. There will be one LESS sidereal day. Thought experiment:
Suppose the Earth made no rotation in a year. An observer might see all of the fixed stars fixed in the sky during the entire year and every year: Zero sidereal days per year. However the Sun will have appeared to rise and set exactly once during that year: One solar day per year. Thus yearly:
solar days = sidereal days + 1.

replies: text: Nope, one extra sidereal day each year.  A quick way to see this is that the sidereal day is four minutes shorter than the civilian (solar) day, hence it takes 366 of them to fill up 365 solar days.  Or look at the direction that the stars move each day, very slightly "westwards", hence causing the motion of the stars across the sky to be slightly more rapid than the motion of the sun (ie. packing more sidereal days into the year).  Back to your thought experiment, the conclusion is incorrect precisely because the earth is rotating, and it is rotating in the same sense as its orbital motion.  It is interesting to perform a different thought experiment, where the earth rotates once per year such that the same face is always towards the sun.  In such a year there are no solar days and one sidereal day.  If you can visualise the situation for rotation rates in between these two thought experiments, and then more or less quickly than either, you will have the full range of possibilities for sidereal vs solar days, and will know which of those we are actually living in.

replies: text: Ah, yes, of course. I assumed (or failed to consider) the rotation turning the "other way". Thank you for the clear explanation.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexgenaud (talk • contribs) 02:03, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  One LESS sidereal day per year 

message: The article claims that there's only two known surviving sidereal angle clocks in the world, both at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich.  Except... there is most definitely a surviving medieval astronomical clock attached to the Old Town Hall in Prague that tells sidereal time.  And... this article seems to indicate that there are many more.  Am I missing something?

message: According to the article, DVDs are not encoded with Macrovision, or with blanking intervals at all. They only encode the visible 720x480 part of the signal. The blanking interval is added by DVD-players. Ripping software, meanwhile, does not play the disc or otherwise add a blanking interval; it simply copies the data, bit-for-bit, from the DVD. Macrovision is therefore not present on any of the hardware or software involved in DVD-ripping, and the idea of ripping software "defeating" or "not defeating" Macrovision is therefore utterly meaningless, unless the article has neglected to mention something...? 98.234.13.133 (talk) 15:42, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

text: Conflicts of interest are issues when editing, in general, and, contrary to popular belief they do not prohibit editing, but require more care. While it is true that foundations set up to preserve people's memory are usually slanted more to the congratulatory than the denigrating, it does not mean that they are considered unreliable. If anything, they have more research, papers, interviews, and history than most any other site. It is our job to assemble it in a neutral fashion, not to ignore treasure troves of information if they are available. Just my opinion. -- Avi 19:58, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

message: While I'm not against the idea that there are limits as to what humans can know, I feel the physics and math examples in this article are misguided. To take Gödel's incompleteness theorem, for example, humans do not think using first order logic or any other other formal system. The theorem is a proof of the limitation of formal systems, not human thought. Critical 01:40, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: For the record, the user  Critical ( talk,  contributions), who slapped the "disputed NPoV" sticker on this page, has made his or her first edits tonight (or today) and within less than two hours has attacked eight articles for PoV, including (ironically given the CStar example given on the Logical fallacy talk page), Physical law.  These were the only "edits" (plus weak justifications on talk pages in the same vein as this one).  I don't think the PoV claim has merit.  We may ask if this series of attacks is to be taken seriously.
For the following reasons I am thinking that these pages has been the victim of a tiresome semi-sophisticated troll and the PoV sticker should be removed sooner rather than later, if not immediately.  We may note that  CStar ( talk,  contributions) after making edits, paused during the period user Critical made edits, and then CStar took up responding to these edits after the series of user Critical edits ends, as if there is only one user involved, and the user logged out, changed cookies and logged back in.  Further, user CStar left a note on  Charles Matthew's talk page,  Chalst's talk page, and   Angela's talk page pointing to a supposed PoV accusation placed on the Logical argument page, when in fact no such sticker has been placed.  Perhaps the irony regarding the Physical law page is not so ironic. Hu 05:18, 2004 Dec 1 (UTC)

Talk:ReJoyce: The Christmas Album

message: Hello! Can someoneone review my most recent update?
The "A Special Limited Edition Christmas Collection" section said that this version "was made available exclusively on her official music store." but I thought this was incorrect as all tracks are part of the album except Angels (acoustic) and the back of the CD has the 7 eleven logo.
The reference was an Amazon Music page/listing that does not exist anymore (https://www.amazon.com/Jessica-Simpson-for-7-Eleven/dp/B00138CZQK/ref=sr_1_1_title_1_mus?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1344548880&sr=1-1&keywords=Jessica+Simpson+-+A+Special+Limited+Edition+Christmas+Collection). So I googled it and found an actual press release from Sony that confirms it was a limited edition sold at 7 eleven (https://www.sony.com/content/sony/en/en_us/SCA/company-news/press-releases/sony-music-entertainment/2004/music-to-your-ears.html)
I also decided to search for the amazon listing on archive.org and found it. It doesn't say anything about the CD being sold in her official music store. However, there is a customer review that does confirm what I found in the official press release from Sony. 
So I think my edit is correct, please review. Specially the reference format. Thanks!
