Posts from February 30th – does this day exist?

Few people know that there aren't 24 hours in a day, but 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds. This is the main reason for the creation of a leap year, when February 29th is added every 4 years. I decided to calculate the time by dividing it into two scenarios: 1) the number of seconds in a year if we assume there are 24 hours in a day, and 2) the number of seconds in a year if we assume there are 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds in a day. Results of the First Calculation: - There are 86,400 seconds in one day. There are 31,536,000 seconds in a year. There are 31,622,400 seconds in a leap year. In 4 years, the total number of seconds is 116,230,400. Results of the Second Calculation: - There are 86,164 seconds in one day. There are 31,449,860 seconds in a year. There are 31,536,024 seconds in a leap year. In 4 years, the total number of seconds is 115,885,604. Results of Comparing the 1st and 2nd Results: - The difference in the total for 4 years is 344,796 seconds (slightly more than 4 days). After 4 years, we are given 344,796 seconds of life that we didn't actually live. This means that having a leap year every 4 years is incorrect, because for the most accurate timekeeping, a leap year should be held every 16 years. Using simple mathematical calculations, I found that each year, we are given 86,199 seconds, which is 35 seconds more than in one day, meaning that each year, we are given an extra day of life that doesn't exist. This raises the question: why isn't February 29th held every year? If February 29th were held every year, the need for a leap year would require it to be held every 7 years. And every seven years, a day called February 30th should be held. If we increase the number of summed years, the difference in the total will decrease by 10.7777777... until the official leap year, where the number of added seconds will be restored and become equal to 86,199 seconds. That is, every fifth year, the decreasing added day is restored. This means that in the first year, we are given 86,199 seconds (35 seconds more than a day), in the second year (rounded values) 86,189 seconds (25 seconds more than a day), in the third year (rounded values) 86,179 (15 seconds more than a day), and in the fourth year (rounded values) 86,169 (5 seconds more than a day). And in the fifth year, this number becomes equal to 86,199 seconds again. If February 30th is held every 7 years, then we are given 80 seconds for 4 years, and 155 seconds for 7 years. To reduce the added seconds and achieve the most accurate timekeeping, a NEW leap year should be held every 555,896,774,193,548,387,096,774,193,548,390 years (rounded to 556 years). Conclusion: it is necessary to reconsider the calculation of time and hold a leap year every 16 years, or hold February 29th every year and February 30th every 7 years, that is, hold a leap year every 7 years. But in any case, a New Leap Year should be held every 556 years. I calculated all of this tonight. People, let's discuss the idea of February 30th.

A joke in the same vein as "May 32nd." The perception of time... Yes, in reality, we won't live (conditionally) 60 years, but 60 years plus an adjustment. But believe me, one day doesn't make much difference in such a scale. Because we've structured it so that there are 365 days, not 365 of them. It's like adding a 1-second hand to a clock.

Although the idea is interesting. Good luck to you, Baron Munchausen!

In reality, we don't live according to the correct time; every four years, we are given 344,796 seconds of life that don't exist. And regarding the NEW leap year, which occurs once every 556 years, it needs to be implemented to get closer to accuracy. Calculate the number of seconds based on the official data, which states that there are 24 hours in a day, and compare it to the actual number of seconds, which is 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds in a day. I calculated everything myself and was surprised to find that we are not living correctly. And it won't be possible to live correctly because it's impossible to precisely track the passage of time. However, if we follow my approach, we can get as close as possible to this, with an error of 2 to 5 seconds. Did you know that there aren't exactly 24 hours in a day? Scientists know a lot that we don't. Did you know that the moon moves away from the Earth by 4 centimeters each year? Or that Australia moves closer to Africa and the Middle East by 1 to 1.5 centimeters each year? All of this has been known for a long time, but no one talks about it openly, so as not to burden themselves with unnecessary questions. There are already more questions than answers in the world, and there's no need to make it worse.

Did you know that every year the moon moves away from the Earth by 4 centimeters?

Yes... that was the case until recently.... Few people know that the Americans messed things up :) where they planted their flag, and now the moon is moving away at 3.99999....9999(9) cm per year! Or maybe it's not being compensated, and now the Earth is catching up with the moon, ah!!! What if we catch up with it faster than it's moving away because of American... stuff! The international community already has a plan: they need to organize an operation codenamed "crap" to evacuate it from the surface of the Moon. The Americans won't do it - they won't take back what was given to them - the EU will complain about the budget. The Chinese and Africans will try... the former will fall because of Made in China, and the latter won't receive a blessing from the god of buffalo dung. And the Russians will be drunk at this time... we're all doomed!!

or that Australia moves closer to Africa and the Middle East by 1 to 1.5 centimeters per year?

It seems to me that Australia is moving a little faster. Is the speed at which Africa is moving away taken into account here?

1000/1.5 ~ 666.666(6) cm, i.e. 6.66 meters in 1000 years.
I.e. 1 km in 150150 years.... hmm.... I won't live to see the collision :)

I tried to write something smart ;).

I am being completely serious. Regarding the Moon, I don't know what the reason is for its distance from Earth. As for Australia, it's due to the movement of tectonic plates. I specifically mentioned Australia because I knew the approximate distance. As for the movement of the other continents, I don't know how and where they are moving, but it's a fact that they are moving.
Regarding February 30th, people should correct the calendar.

I also learned that in school. In general, the continents were separated earlier, and now they are converging again: confused: That's why I made that mistake.

Yes, I understand that you're serious. But do you understand what the problem is? Society is such that no one needs your "February 30th." It's too expensive.

Thanks again for the calculations. Was the idea yours?

Yes, it was my idea. Two days ago, I woke up in the middle of the night and decided to just count. I generally have a bad relationship with math, but as long as the numbers were small, a calculator helped, and then I had to do it manually on a piece of paper from the printer's disc packaging. I counted and was surprised.

You should go to the physical forum with your calculations. Then you can tell us what they think about it.

Do you know the website address?

Heh, guys, let me tell you why the Moon is moving away... It's all about inertia. The Moon is heavy, too heavy for Earth's gravity. It's like a swing – the Moon is swaying, and so on...

http://lib.mexmat.ru/forum/ - this seems like a decent website.

Heh, guys, I'll tell you why the Moon is moving away... The point is inertia. The Moon is heavy, too heavy for Earth's gravity. Like a swing - the Moon is swaying, and so on...

This doesn't disprove my theory :)

I think it's not just about inertia. If the Moon had been moving away from Earth since the beginning, it would have gone very far in 3.5 billion years. This started because of the Earth's pole shift. According to one theory about the demise of Mars, this is what caused the planet's death. During the pole shift, gravity became too weak, and the planet's atmosphere evaporated into space. Currently, the Earth is preparing for a pole shift, and gravity is weakening by very small amounts, but that's enough for the Moon to move away.

Did you know there are 2 theories? According to one, the end of the world will be in 3 billion years, and according to the other, in 4...

Zet, fix the injustice - come up with a calendar so that all the ends of the world happen at the same time!

The end of the world can happen at any moment, and humanity has no control over it. It's not even about religion; just think about it.

...think about it...

If we spend a day figuring out how to evacuate people from a coastline threatened by a flood, will our super-powerful radar stations be able to predict a tectonic plate shift or the cessation of the Gulf Stream?!

Heh, what does religion have to do with it?)) I heard those numbers while doing absolutely nothing during my illness – basically, I was watching BBC documentaries about space. And in 3 billion years, two mega-black holes will collide, and we'll get sucked in, and in 4 billion years, the Sun will burn up the Earth – basically, it'll be like a microwave. That's it)))
Zet, make a doomsday calendar))) We need to choose which one to die in...
