As the earth rotates it slowly wobbles back and forth. As it does this
the area that faces the sun the most changes. This causes days and nights
at both poles to be six months long.
It will also cause our summer days to be longer then the winter days.
Because of this we start our summer days an hour earlier then our winter
days. Come the end of the year the effects cancel each other out.
The end effect is there is no change.
During the beginning of the year our days grow by a minute each
day. During the end of the summer the day shrinks by a minute each
day.
What is leap year any ways? Leap year occurs every four years. It
is when an extra day is added to our calendar. The reason for this is that
our days are really 23 hours and 59 minutes long. Because of this to keep
our calendars accurate we need to add this extra day.
One interesting effect of this is that each day begins and sets one minute
later then the last one. This is because each day is begun a minute
earlier.
We can verify this event with a simple math calculation. Pick
out a day that you wish to know the time of when it will begin or end.
Count the number of days between the last leap year and the day in
question. Then count that number of minutes from midnight. This will
give you when the day will begin or end.
These are calendars that were built centuries ago in many cases. They
can show the beginning, ending or high point of each day of the year. They
can show when to plant and harvest crops. They tell when holidays and the
season end or begin.
Over the thousands of years in existence they remain accurate. They
have never changed to the best of my knowledge. They remain just as
useable to day as they were when they were built.
Earth calendars don't rely on the time of the year however.
What they rely on is the wobble of the earth. We can see this because they
rely on the time the day starts or ends. The time the day starts or ends
are determined by the wobble of the earth.
These clocks are supposed to be the most accurate clock we have built.
They are supposed to be accurate up to hundredths of a second. In other
words they lose so little time each day that it takes years for it to add
up.
I am curious though. If we don't posses a clock more accurate, how do
we know this one is innacurate? Which other clock has such accuracy for us
to judge the attomic clock by?
I personally have watched and paid attention to leap year and losing that
minute each day. At the end of a year it is six hours worth of time that
must be added on. If this is done it is required that the day starts at
twelve o'clock noon.
Even more confusing is the end of two years time. By definition a day
must start at what is now six in the evening.
If any of you doubt my calculations by all means check. For every month
we must add on 30 minutes. For every year we must add on 6 hours.
This is because each day is shorter then we calculate. Because it is
shorter it must start earlier. Because it starts earlier the darkness must
last longer.
I have never seen a day start when the clock says noontime. I have
never seen a day start when a clock says 6 PM. By the definition and
expectations of leap year this must happen.
There are only two times that the calendar or clocks are adjusted. That
is for leap year and for day light savings time.
The only reason I can think of that the day doesn't start consistently later
must be that we don't lose that minute. If we don't lose that minute then
leap year must not exist.
We have earth calendars that are accurate even today after hundreds of
years. If we don't need leap year but keep adding on extra days, shouldn't
winter start later every four years? I admit it could take 100 years for
winter to start even a month later. Nature doesn't run on our clock
schedule. It could take a lifetime of paying attention to notice that
change.
If we start our day one hour earlier during the summer what happens on the
other side of the world? What happens on the southern side? Does
that mean that they start their day an hour earlier in darkness for us?
Does that mean our clocks are different from those of the rest of the world
during our summer? Do they have a daylight savings time when we are in the
winter? Does that mean our clocks are almost always two hours off or
more?
They say the atomic clock is so accurate. If it is the most accurate
clock we have what clock did we time it against? We don't have a clock
that is more accurate so we can't measure the time the most accurate clock
loses. We simply don't have the device to do so. The only answer is
that the government has lied and that a more accurate clock exists
somewhere.
Actually, this whole section brings all kind of questions up, who, what,
where, when and why. I don't know the answers. All I do know is that
all the information we have given doesn't add up. Mathematically it can't
add up. Yet some how it appears that it does. More over if something
doesn't add up and nobody admits to it a person must wonder what is being
hidden.
What might be hidden is only a date. That is the only thing that can
change using these things. It could be a date in the past that someone
wants to hide or forget about. It could also be something that is yet
supposed to happen that someone is trying to hide. It could also be
both. I simply don't have the answer.
I dare you to do the math yourself. Do it for months and years at a
time. Wait the time and see if the day starts and ends when you think it
does. According to the rules of leap year it can't and won't. I
double dare you to keep track.
Actually we must combine the effects of leap year with day light
savings time. That is the wobble of the earth. The effect is that in
one half of the year we lose no time what so ever. The effects of leap
year and the wobble will cancel each other out. During the other half of
the year the effects must be added. The result is that in one half of the
year we don't lose any time. During the second half of the year daylight
changes by two minutes a day, at least mathematically that is the way it must
work out.
