Rob,

Please define "nothing whatsoever" for us. I'm confused.

I agree they are unware of the discussion. Nor will they be affected
by the discussion.

To within an hour or so my wristwatch (civil time) does a great job
matching the sun (some sort of solar time). And give or take a few
hours (excluding those in polar regions), the same is true for the
other 7 billion people on the planet.
