The referenced websites are used for the purpose of presenting that there are two split views out there,often these sites contain the same contradictions I point out,needless to say that accurate clocks were developed based on the rotation of the Earth once in 24 hours.

So,it is not difficult at all and participants can decide for themselves based on historical,observational and commonsense evidence.If they go along with a rotation rate of 23 hours 56 minutes they clearly belong with relativity,if they decide that clocks were developed off the rotation of the Earth in 24 hours using the EoT to make up the difference with the natural day,it is not difficult to see why Newton defined the difference as between absolute time (24 hour day) and relative time (unequal day).

It is common among relativists to bring in atomic clocks into the discussion to frighten away investigation but the inventor of the cesium clock detested everything about relativity and knew it for the sham it is.
