AI Thread Summary
A user is developing a calendar for a sci-fi game and seeks assistance in calculating the current Month/Day/Year based on a real-world date of 11/23/2645. The new calendar consists of 11 months with 20 days each, totaling 220 days per year, and operates on a 23-hour day without leap years. The user calculates that from the reference year of 2290 AD to 2645 AD, there are 355 Earth years, which include 88 leap years, resulting in 129,663 Earth days. This converts to 135,300 new planet days, equating to 615 years and 12 hours in the new calendar system. The final date is determined to be just before noon on January 1, 615 of the new calendar.

Hello there, I am creating a calendar for a sci-fi game I am creating for a roll20 session. I would appreicate some help in figuring out the current Month/Day/Year for this new calendar based on our Real World calendar date of 11/23/2645.

This new calendar is based on 11 months with 20 days (4 weeks of 5 days) with 23 hour days. It has no leap years. Year 1 of this new calendar is based on January 1st 2290 AD of our calendar. I would really appreciate some help figuring this out!

The main things I need help with is: Converting the extra hour per RL day into amount of days added to the new calendar. Figuring out where 2290 fits on the leap year schedule of our calendar to add in the extra day per 4 years.

The new calendar is a standard 220 23 hr days, as opposed to our 364/365 of 24hr days.

From 2290 to 2645 is 2645- 2290= 355 years. There are 88 leap years in the time so a total of 355(365)+ 88= 129,663 (earth) days and (129,663)(24)= 3,111,912 (earth) hours.

Now work backwards using the corresponding new planet values. An "hour" is not based on any planetary property (unlike the day or year) so I am going to take a (new planet) hour to be the same as an (earth) hour. Since there are 23 hours in a (new planet) day, 3,111,912 (earth) hours is 3,111,912/23= 135,300.522 (new planet) days and 12 hours). Since there are 20 days in a (new planet) month, that is 135300/20= 6765 months. Since there are 11 months in a (new planet) year, there are 6765/11= 615 years. So, taking 2290, on earth, as the "zero" year for this new planet, 2645 is 615 years, and 12 hours. That would be a little before noon of Jan 1, 615 on this new planet.
 
Thank you so much! Also taught me how to work through similar problems later
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
