The Clock You Thought You Knew is Wrong?
Hmm makes you wonder?
The system we’ve been given for tracking time is not just an arbitrary setup; it’s a product of a long history of manipulation and control. The Gregorian calendar, with its inconsistent months and leap years, is far from ideal.
It creates unnecessary complexity that benefits those who manage these systems while making life more complicated for the average person. The calendar we use today is rooted in decisions made centuries ago, driven by the interests of the elites who wanted to maintain a grip on power and control.
One glaring issue with our current calendar system is the lack of alignment with natural cycles. A calendar with 13 months of 28 days each would fit better with the lunar cycle, which averages around 29.53 days. This would total 364 days in a year, leaving one extra day – “Year Day” – to mark the transition between years.
This system would eliminate the need for leap years and create a more consistent framework for managing time. Yet, this straightforward solution has not been adopted, perhaps because it would undermine the existing power structures that thrive on the current system’s complexity.
The 24-hour day length, while seemingly accurate, is based on Earth’s rotation. But historical and mathematical theories have…
