LOL, Nautikos, so I take it you are on the skeptical side of the controversy. HAHAHAHA. That's OK, everone is entitled to be wrong once in a while.

Re:
Okay, TAPS, you and I need to have a little chat. The Bible is a fine book, but you know that not everything you read in books is meant to be taken literally, and that includes the Bible. And I can assure you that the Earth did not stop its path around the Sun at the time of Joshua or any other time for that matter! Nor did NASA scientists find a missing day corresponding to the biblical story. And the onset of the battle of the Israelites against the Amorites and the ending of the battle were not separated by a time-like interval/separation in an inertial reference frame.
However, I do know there's a flourishing industry of people concocting such nonsense...
There is a little story of the famous physicist Wolfgang Pauli, who once dismissed a totally flawed and absurd paper by saying, 'That's not even wrong'...
People who make up stuff like that and peddle it as 'scientific proof' for what they believe are 'not even wrong'...

Brilliantly discussed. From now on I'll be a regular to learn more on the subject. Thanks for starting a series.

Nautikos, I’m sure you are familiar with the Biblical account of the sun standing still in the sky for a day in the time of Joshua (and again time moving backward ten degrees in the day of Hezekiah), and the modern controversy over the claim that NASA scientists found a “missing” day corresponding to the biblical story. Perhaps your spacetime is the answer to the riddle. Perhaps the onset of the battle of the Israelites against the Amorites and the ending of the battle were separated by a time-like interval/separation in an inertial reference frame.
