Howdy Jones, As much as it may NOT be considered "scholarly" to view Bible scripture as "historical" as much as "religious", the fact is the Bible remains nearly " sole source" for ancient record. Easily scoffed at by the " learned", the Bible has yet to be disproven. Given that reason, it is entirely possible the ancient calendar year was based on "real" time of 360 days in that era. If we consider creation to be some 15 billion years old in "today's" time and Bible wording indicates a "major event change some 6-8000 years ago, a simple conclusion may be drawn that this event was so catastophic, that it caused more than just a 360 day year change. It may also mean that the earth became subject to a "decay event" not previously part of structure. An earth surviving in orbit some 15 billion earth years....alone stretches a scientific explanation beyond reasonable doubt.. unless, one concludes there was a "perfection" existing over that time which alludes to a" perfect "8 minute cycle" ( which may not have been 8 but some other frame). Meanwhile, Richard ducked out the back door of the Dime Box Saloon before the bottles start flying between the Hatfields, McCoy's and that new Darwin clan over in North Zulch ( near Texas A&M).

Jones wrote in a prior post "conclusion".. "the tentative conclusion is that they be possibly related to each other, and to early civilization; and it all gets most interesting as to "a natural lapse of time" in the evolved subconscious mind (if you can overlook the slight lack of precision). " Meant to add to previous post: In physics, the graviton is "hypothetical" whereas the photon is real (as best we can understand 'real') but both elementary particle serve a similar function. The graviton mediates the force of gravity in the framework of quantum field theory and if it exists, the graviton must be massless like the photon (because the gravitational force has unlimited range) and must have a spin of 2 (because gravity is a second-rank tensor field) whereas the photon has spin of one. Could this spin difference relate to a slight difference in what can be called propagation speed? i.e. in a star collapse, does the gravity wave move faster than the corresponding light wave due solely to its spin and possibly to the aether effects of spin ? It is tempting to call spin-2 "greater" than spin-1, or perhaps a "double axis" spin, but both of those descriptions are an inaccurate verbalization of what quantum spin implies. So I am told. Yet, spin-2 is "different" for sure and that could relate to a way that the graviton interacts with (or passes through with less interaction) an extra-dimensional "aether" so that it is not retarded in the same way that the photon is slightly retarded by the aether ... ... as opposed to by any imaginary level of interstellar "dust". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
