Chosid: “The only thing I stupid is that you say that a Rebbes sforim are fiction based on your 3rd grade science class. Is totally outrageous. Now that doesn’t mean that your not allowed to have questions, but saying right away that it’s all fiction based on your little brain, is really out of place. Did any gadol gold that? Or science master?”
Gee, what’s with “third grade” that really gets you so upset. The point I made was that I first learned about sundials in third grade, not that my understanding of them is only what I learned in third grade. I have since read about sundials numerous times, even after finishing fourth grade!
Get this straight: A sundial can’t be affected the way it says in the story. I challenge you to get any frum, not frum or lehavdil goyishe scientist to explain how the story works. You won’t find anyone who isn’t a lubavicher or drunk (or more likely, both) who will say the story makes sense. Therefore, the story is untrue.
Now, either the Rayatz also didn’t have a clue or he was writing fiction. You choose which one of the two I should believe because there is no third option. The size of my brain, or lack thereof, is irrelevant.
