The main problem with this theory is that its basic premise is flawed. He's treating the terminators between dayside/nightside and nightside/dayside as points, whereas they aren't even lines, they're curves. As they move, they're operating more like waves than what he's suggesting. More, the further addition of "midnight and midday" as points of reality aren't nearly as important as the terminators because they have no effective reality. They're arbitrary moments we define as being special because they're the halfway point between state differences that in two places on earth don't even exist in a day. I mean, around the summer solstice in the Arctic Circle, there's no nightfall at all. Where's his theory accounting for that?
No, it's bunk. Even when you CAN find out what the hell his supposedly important theory is, the facts dismantle it in mere moments. Amazing what the brain will let you ignore, isn't it?
