[time-nuts] "24 hour birth celebration period"

[Lux, James P]

How close to you want to be.

I always just use the 365.25 year length, so the "time of birth" rotates by 6 hours earlier each year; except in a leap year or the year after, depending on if your birthday is before or after 28 Feb, when it moves 18 hours the other way (back to actual time).  We did do the calculation for my daughter in the car on a long drive with more precision once.. The 0.0022 day/year does add up after all (about 3 min/year offset... So 10 years IS half an hour, and to a 10 year old, this can be important..)


Maybe what you really want is the same sidereal time?

Here is a new one, unless I missed a previous post.
Turn 40 tomorrow, no woohoo required.

Tricky part,
Birth certificate 12/15/68 / 01:30 am (no seconds)
Add leap years and seconds, can determine approximate, but no exact time.
Sent to my brother, add 2-3 beers:

-----
I want to do the math when it comes to leap years/seconds to find out to the second when the big 40 rolls over.
(Was born early in the morning), Tomorrow is close enough for family even though my curiosity tells me to determine a more realistic time.
Some would argue that birth is a process has no particular event time and you could never pinpoint anything.
The math becomes pointless when you factor in your sense of time and disruption due to circumstance vs. reality.
I think Mr Einstein Had a midlife crisis himself. Math is pointless without reference.

Maybe i'm I barking up the wrong tree, there a possible close to accurate time I can mark, trusting the documentation is correct.
A little different than a rubidium standard. Take out the philosophical stuff.

Cheers, William.
(Hope I have another 40.... or somthing close)
