Default Calendar reform 2011

By creating a calendar system using 3 years of 365 days and 1 year of
366 days ,the astronomers from antiquity did our era a huge favor
outside the equal day/calendar system itself by allowing the annual
cycle to drift ahead of the daily cycles,and this is implicit in their
time reckoning allowing people in this era to consider rotation
separate from the orbital motion of the Earth.The fractional 5 hour 49
minute difference omitted each year from the point of view of the
steady progression of 24 hour rotations each non-leap year therefore
represents a fractional orbital distance against a full orbital
circuit remembering that 365 1/4 days and 365 1/4 rotations represent
near enough (11 minute difference) a full orbital circuit.

Those who wish to dwell with a false 366 1/4 rotations in 365 1/4 days
are free to do so but with so many astronomical anniversaries and
major events ahead,those who do choose to come back home to astronomy
and show the wider population what it can really do in addition to
imaging will restore a badly shaken belief in science,scientists and
their intellectual integrity.
