I found this really cool map which shows how the timezones actually lay out (it's also very similar to the United Nations logo).
Imagine the earth for a minute as a stationary plane (as defined by NASA), and the sun and stars revolve over our heads.
If you lay out the earth on a flat map like this (azimuthal equidistant), the timezones make perfect sense, but on the (mercator) timezone map that we were given in school, the timezone lines don't match what the sun is doing at all. At all.
I just found this interesting, hope you enjoy it too. Let me know in the comments what you think about it! :)
Timezones don't care what country we live in. It looks to me like we live on a big'ol clock.
Exaaactly! The living beings on the clock are even more clocks lol. How come a womans' period is timed so well? 😅😂
Great point!
How does a woman's internal clock know what time it is? That time schedule is certainly not controlled by any government.
Yes, maybe the body would use something more accurate & natural like the lunar calendar.
The Julian and the Gregorian are definitely not the best in my opinion, they kinda messed me up thanks to Julius and Augustus Caesar or any other king that wants to make up another calendar with their names in the months.
You can live by local time, but you'll probably miss your train. Apparently they are one reason we have time zones. Just feel for the people in western China who have to live on Beijing time.
I wish we could go back to the lunar calendar. 13 months, all 28 days long, and the AE map to help us figure out how many hours of difference between us.
You could do a clock app for that, but you'll still have to deal with 'official' time and dates for so many things. Mind you, I can tell you it can be a pain to support computer systems when the clocks change. Calculating dates is hard too.
Here we are working with 60 minute hours that link back to the Babylonians, days named by vikings, months named by Romans and trying to make it all work with computers. During the French revolution they tried using 10 hour days that had 100 minutes. That would have been simpler for computers. People have messed with this stuff forever.
On the gregorian calendar, yes. Dates are just ridiculous imo.
That is a key statement. It is one thing that we must break free from and let real science, not pseudoscience, lead humanity forward.
Reinstate March as the first month, rename Julius and Augustus: Quintilis and Sextilis. Maybe someone will come up with a better pronounceable name for the 13th month. Ophiuchus, yeah, well. 13 times 28 makes so much more sense than what we currently got.
I have not been thinking about those 24 hours yet. Although, I have been thinking we may have had a duodecimal numeral system some time in the past, when we had 12 fingers. I have had that thought for quite a while (decades), but I wrote it down for the first time, like 10 minutes ago. I wonder what clock the Mayans used, if any. What would we need a clock for? That was also Alex' opinion I think, when I confronted him with the Gormanian calendar. Alex from México, he has a show on bitchute. I don't like to appear on video, not too often anyway. But he really likes to have me in his show, so we recorded another one, the third. I'll see if I can find it...

I wonder if we used to have twelve fingers.
A dozen is twelve. Half a day is twelve. I think we may have had a duodecimal numeral system.
Yes, I had to look that up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duodecimal
I know decimal, and hexadecimal, but duodecimal, well, I guessed right, that's how I found it. The word I mean; duodecimal. The 12-digit numeral system. 100 = 144. BB = 143. A = 10, B = 11, 10 = 12, 1A = 22.
You get the picture. 😁
12 does crop up a lot. That articles gives some possible reasons, including the number of finger bones. Some people think it's a better system as you can divide it more ways, but the world has settled on decimal. I do work with hexadecimal for some computer stuff.
The concept of timezones baffles me to some degree. Everything seems to be moving and we're stuck within time. I wonder what or how time will be like on the Moon or Mars :)
Well, according to the astrolabe and sextants, the wandering stars (aka "planets") and moon are only about 3000 miles over our heads. NASA gives us a different opinion of course.
I agree too that we are "stuck" here in a way, like this is all one big test of some sort. I'm still trying to figure it out myself 😊
I know it could be CGI, but it potentially did bend my mind, possibly, on the longer term. It's again another seed planted in my subconscious, concerning this absurd theory which my spatial awareness totally opposes, in three dimensions. With my spatial awareness, I can read upside down inverted. I can picture an entire solar system, and it works! In three dimensions that is.
Yep, cgi has gotten so good the past few years, it's getting harder and harder to know what's real. Better imo to experience it all irl.
Avoid the black mirrors.
I have experienced it, near Honningsvåg, Norway. It must have been July, 1973 or 1974. It wouldn't get dark.
I always thought it was that experience that caused my dream with the bright light, too bright to see anything, but it felt like a round space with a pillar in the middle, without any corners, all rounded. It must have been a spaceship.
Anyway, so, after I learned to swim in Taberg... My mother just wanted to travel, and having three little children did not keep her. She built a camper and we went to Lisbon, Istanbul, Scotland, Wales, England, It is easier to count the countries in Europe where I have not been. But I have stood at the borders of the Soviet Union and Albania.
So, I experienced it, and I can picture it; in three dimensions, this planet is a sphere!
Watching that video again, the sound effects they added to it really proves it's fake.
Lol, that doesn't make sense technically. Jupiter or even Saturn is probably more that 3000 miles over our heads 😂
See how it fits well with the concept of the matrix movie? Almost all systems points out that we're stuck in some way and we're all trying to figure out this thing that they call life.
The day starts in Kiribati. If you start there, on the most eastern island, west of the dateline, and you move to the most western island east of the dateline, which is Attu Island, and you cross the dateline at midnight, you can experience a 51-hour day.
Start at 00:00 in Kiribati, the most eastern island of Kiribati, on April 1. I think for that distance, you would need a plane. 24 hours later, you cross the dateline, and the date remains April 1. It's 00:00 hours, midnight. 24 hours later, at 21:00 hours, April 1, you arrive on Attu Island, where the day will end three hours later.
Oh yeah, Kiribati. Captain Cook's Hotel is there too for some reason. Anyway, I heard about that place and it also has something to do with a south passage through ant-ARCtica. Very cool stuff, but one hell of a rabbit hole too 😅
ooh, nicely shown. 😉
Yeah, pretty cool when you look at things in a completely new way :)
