This fine line between the present and the past is infinitely amazing!

Are our vibrations or wave lengths in agreement, or are we like two ships passing in the night of miss-understanding?

How can two walk together unless they are in agreement?

How can we get the Diaspora from the west and the Natives from the east to unite when we have lived in such different reality of time?

The original Roman calendar was a bit of a mess, so much so that in 46 BCE Julius Caesar mandated a 445-day-long year to help bring the calendar back in sync with the seasons.

Stop and count for 5 seconds before acting or making a decision.
Our brains don’t perceive events until about 80 milliseconds until after they’ve happened.

In the Western world, we tend to think of time as linear and flowing from left to right.
Those who read languages that flow from right to left, such as Arabic and Hebrew.
The Aymara, who live in the Andes Mountains in South America, consider the future to be behind them.

Individual people can experience time differently
When you’re focused on something, like a big work project or a party, your brain pays less attention to how time passes.
Measuring the vibration of an atom—which, in simple terms, is the gist of what oscillation is—is the most accurate way to track time.

The faster you move, the slower time moves.
A sidereal day is the time it takes for a distant star or constellation to appear on the same meridian.
Most people won’t notice a leap second, but they can be a huge pain for tech companies.
Most years were set at 365 days, but to make up for the fact that the earth’s revolution around the sun doesn’t take exactly 365 days, leap years were implemented.

Key Christian holidays were being celebrated on incorrect dates.
Pope Gregory XIII took issue with this and established a commission to get the calendar back on track.

Sir Sandford Fleming KCMG FRSC was a Scottish Canadian engineer and inventor. Born and raised in Scotland, he immigrated to colonial Canada at the age of 18.
Fleming originally proposed a concept he called “Cosmic Time,” in which the world would run off an imaginary clock located at the planet’s center, essentially a line from the center of the planet to the sun.
And nations present at the 1884 International Meridian Conference laid the groundwork for dividing the world into 24 time zones (GMT).

The Europeans can sell anything:
One London family used this to their advantage, and made a living by selling people the time. An astronomer named John Belville would set his pocket watch to the time at the Royal Observatory Greenwich.
In some parts of China, for example, the sun doesn’t rise until nearly 10 a.m.
Until 2007, daylight saving time ended in October. It’s been reported that the candy industry lobbied to wait until after Halloween to change the clocks back an hour.

The first person to seriously advocate for daylight saving time was an entomologist who wanted more sunlit hours to look for insects after work in the summer. He proposed his idea to a scientific society in New Zealand in 1895
Daylight saving time wasn’t officially implemented until 1916.
United States didn’t follow suit until 1918.

In fact, it can have some pretty concerning health effects. Studies have linked daylight saving time with an uptick in heart attacks, car crashes, and mining injuries.
The calendar, which is made of a series of 12 pits that mimic the moon’s phases, dates back to around 8000 BCE.
In the Southern Hemisphere, the shadow moves in the opposite direction.

New clocks are set at 10:10 for a reason.
Two of these theoretical strings, which are thin streams of pure energy that are moving in opposite directions at very near the speed of light.
