Topic: Kepler 452b

Anonymous A started this discussion 11 years ago #44,073

On the game Civilization V, I always like to play a large terra map where the world age is 6 billion years and the only two governing bodies are the U.S. and China.

Now it looks like we might have found such a planet that is 6 billion years old, older than Earth at 4.5 billion, and it might be the future home of the United States of America and the People's Republic of China. The world is also larger than Earth too.

Would that actually work?

Falco made me think of this.

11 months each with 5 weeks of 7 days. Finally we can have a better calendar. Put me in cryo right now.

Why 11 months?

It's a calendar system that will cycle completely over one 385 day year without months with wildly varying numbers of days and weeks. That and the 5, 7, 11 thing is just cool because primes.

Edit: Oh wait, those are probably earth days not Kepler 452b days. We have no idea about Kepler 452b's rotational period because it is 1400 light years away, so it doesn't work after all. Disregard that. I suck cocks.

There is simply no reason not to extend the length of a day to meet your calendar

What if you really like the calendar? It might be one of those fancy ones with cool artwork on it.
