[Rob Seaman]

O frabjous day!  A pertinent quote:

	"Unfortunately, Sagnac's experiment has never been performed accurately enough to discern whether the period of absolute rotation is the solar day of 24 hours or the sidereal day of 23 hours, 56 minutes."
(http://ldolphin.org/sagnac.html, From Geocentricity, pp. 280-284, Gerardus D. Bouw, Ph.D., Geocentricity, Association for Biblical Astronomy, 4527 Wetzel Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44109, 1992.)

and then there is http://www.geocentricity.com ...

...I wonder what they make of the CMB dipole anisotropy?
