But our species has in many different parts of history charted the behavior of the sun and moon and stars for a very long time. It is meaningless in the scale of the universe, but our planet still has a consistent orbit around the sun and that is what a year is.

And that's why I want o make a stand... so happy new year tomorrow
PS if you're about to post a reply and your response is going to be negative, improper, average, odd, obtuse, irrational, an argument, might change the focus, going off at a tangent or just mean ... go and find a maths forum to post on instead, they'll love you !!
