Respected sirs: >.....Now we feel that the Gregorian calendar did not go far enough.
I did not know, I was heading for a 'Break through' in the Reform of Gregorian calendar till (1974-75) on realising my calendar attempts were UNIQUE - especially The Metric Second/The Metric Calendar, when linked with time unit and arc-angle i.e. unless the two are merged into a common axis! Having realised that, I had no choice but to risk my 'uniform career' and work single minded on the theme of ONE WORLD ONE CALENDAR, spending my resources and enrgy (with limited academic qualifications but using the best of avialable data) digging library books/resources. >.....Pope Gregory's science advisors had to propose was to occasionally add a >day to the existing calendar >every four years. They were more than right, as far 400-year cycle was concerned. How come, they never worked for 128-year correction - I guess the binary count was known: and count to large numbers like 0,1,2,4,8,16,32,64, 128,256,512...1024 had been appreciated - from a story that I learnt as a child. "A proud king, proclaimed to offer a boon to one sage...who begged for a chess board, and asked the king to place: 'ONE grain of his kingdom's produce in each square and keep doubling each time he went to the next square!'. This was enough to mull his pride and looked himself a begger to the revered sage. I offer correcting this by inserting a Leap Day ONCE every 4-years except at 128th-year - irrespective of the current 'century rule'. This gives the mean year =(365+31/128) days =365.2421875 days. I was then working for the Metric Calendar Year, by inserting 3 days [alfa-day; beta-day & sigma-day] between Friday and Saturday *to have 10-days or (decaday plan with 2-quinto day periods of a million metric seconds each*. Please see: http://www.brijvij.com/synposis-n-364d-options.doc >.....Do we have any history of what vast amount of arm twisting was needed by >a world leader to make a >small change to the existing calendar? Not being an astronomy student, I believed in 'search for truth and NEVER be carried by opionions or general guidelines.....with the aim "STOP NOT TILL THE GOAL WAS REACHED"! My investigation for DIVIDE SIX (6), using 896-year/159 LWks cycle [Mean Year =7*(52+159/896) days =365.2421875 days] and later discovered 834-year/148 Leap Weeks [Mean Year =7*(52+74/417) days =365.242206235012 days. I, thus claim, to be the only & FIRST investigator having devised/attepmted the *div.six (6) Leap Week plan* and placed my calculations /contributions at: http://brijvij.com/bb-karl_brij-Contri2k9.pdf and Leap Weeks http://www.brijvij.com/bb_896rev-distr.claim.pdf & http://www.brijvij.com/bb_896-yrs-159lwk.pdf Karl had been 'skeptical' about my Leap Week Rule (1990's) - perhaps he did not reconcile that 896-years had 'exactly 159 Leap Weeks' and the 'extra duration of (2*3) cycles would automatically cater to remove the surplus Keplar Leap Weeks in 2688th year (being divisible by both 6 & 896) - be traeted a NORMAL/REGULAR Leap Weeks instead of KLWk in the 2688-year cycle to give: 7*(52+1/6+29/2688) days, as mean year. THIS, I think is understandable AND be removed from 10th KLWk in 896-year cycle, while working Mean Year, as: 7*[52+1/6+(10-1/3)/896] =365.2421875 days i.e. 7*(52+159/896) days (or 365d 5h 48m 45s.00).

I had thus to be very choosy, in my career & studies too. I wish some one in the list 'helped' developed a software for my calendaric calculations, in arriving at an Alternate to 'corrected' Gregorian Calendar, at my Home Page! It may be observed that Y2013 can be the FIRST Kepler Leap Week, choosing Era start at: [(Y2000-80)+/-128] i.e. 15*128 =Y1920, falling 93 years later, sirs.

After about a million years, a world leader proposed a calendar for obvious reasons. The most important being the calculation of when to plant their crops. As with all man-made things, the Julian calendar was found to be inaccurate after a few centuries. Now we feel that the Gregorian calendar did not go far enough. It could have been made perpetual. Or could it? I think not. The only change Pope Gregory's science advisors had to propose was to occasionally add a day to the existing calendar every four years. And the payoff promised was eating better because crops would be planted on time. Do we have any history of what vast amount of arm twisting was needed by a world leader to make a small change to the existing calendar?
