<p>For the purpose of this discussion I don't think we really have
to consider Chandler wobble and other even smaller effects.</p>
<p>For those that are interested

The concepts might be, but the exact locations we use have been
fixed politically. The earth wobbles, but we don't move the

coordinate system we are using, they are physical properties of the
planet we happen to live on.

in reoccurring in physical events.
