Why the revised Julian calendar wasn't widely adopted?
Why the revised Julian calendar wasn't widely adopted?
It makes an even better job than the Gregorian calendar when it comes to approximating the calendar to the solar year.
You're viewing a single thread.
look at the chaos that Y2K was. one doesn't simply adopt a new calendar.
it's too ingrained. it's like ripping out the foundations of a house to build a new one. it would have to be one hell of a calendar
There is a pretty fucking solid one:
13 months exactly 4 weeks long. 364 days. Two unique days: New Years Day and Leap Day. Just put them together.
Now every month is the same length. Every numbered day is the same day of the week in every month for the whole year.
People with their birthday on Monday are not going like that their birthday is always on Monday..
Either A) New Years Day is a day of the week and your birthday changes every year (but in a vastly more predictable way; NYD will make next year's dates one weekday ahead), or B) New Years Day is a completely separate day and all years are identical, and you choose your birthday to be celebrated on the closest agreeable weekend if that matters to you
That's the International Fixed Calendar?
Yeah, that's the one. The one that makes a modicum of sense
Yeah. There aren't any REAL issues with the current calendar. Months aren't equal, we have leap year. But it doesn't break anything, it's just annoyances you live with.
