@globalmuseum hoping this isn't a 'Year 0' for some terrible, yet foreseen reason. @globalmuseum The world could use a lot more #deeptime consciousness: @globalmuseum People think about the Roman Empire all the time, but how many are managing the Y3K problem? @globalmuseum I've been concepting a new calendar with 25772-year cycles called polareons, based on Earth's axial precession. Earth's axial tilt will align with Polaris in 2100 (Gregorian), which will be the year 0 (Polareon) as it will start the next polareon. Thus the current 2025 (Gregorian) is 25697 (Polareon). |
@globalmuseum Well, as for Unix Time, that is not a "year" (which for most calendars is an approximation of the time it takes for the Earth to go through the changes we now know to be due to the orbit around the Sun). Unix Time is seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC (1735760549 at the time of my writing).
