That's the Persian Solar Calendar, when NawRooz, the new years is celebrated!
Now I'm more wondering why the Persian calendar still has leap years cuz he says if the time of celebration moves around the clock, you'll get rid of leap years.
@@in_the_name_of_sciencehe’s wrong
@@in_the_name_of_science
He has simplified it, for that matter your celebration doesn't matter that much; you need to mark the start/end of day at that moment not 00:00 and keep it for the whole year, and it changes next year, etc. In Iran the celebration is at that moment, but the official calendar keeps the 00:00 as the start/end of the day - so in official calendar you should compensate it with the leap year.
You mean iranian
@@bat3891 no persian. The calendar far predates the existence of iran

@@user-gt1zx7jt3h No shit. I was replying to the guy who said it wouldn’t be different times of the day when the earth completes the orbit.
Technically, you would celebrate the new year roughly 5 hours and 48 minutes later each year.
Calendar is created by Indians that's why it actually ends in February. Just like Hindu new year comes in March. February used to be last year that's why we reduced the numbers.
@@animesloversunited9069 I'm not sure how your comments relates to mine.

He's great at dumbing thing down without you feeling dumb
Just bad at stoping at explaining things. 😅
He could have just said a year isn't an even 365 days long, it's 365.24 so you make days longer by a fraction, taking it out of sync with the spin, or add a short day at the end.
He accepts the vaccine lie though. Joe Rogan shouldn't have him on.

That actually sounds better, an amazing excuse to get on it at 8am
It's just kinda arbitrary even more so than usual, you'd have to designate a specific point in space relative to the sun and reaching that same location is called the new year. Obviously since the sun spins and moves throughout the galaxy you aren't actually on the exact same place you were a year prior, you'd be God knows how many miles away
You. I like.
@@TachibanaTengoku I think he’s talking about doing shots at 8 am dude lol
@@TachibanaTengoku why does that matter? It's relative to the sun. You just find a specific place in the orbit around the sun because that's the relative frame and call that the new year point. Done. Not really arbitrary.
@@Patrick-zr8tv It's still arbitrary and we already do that, that's why we have leap years in the first place, it doesn't take exactly 365 days to get to the same spot every year.
Rogan; s so good at asking questions, and Tyson is so articulate, just a great combination
What's amazing is that Neil always has the answer to the question. And he answers it fluently without much thinking or hesitance.
Yes and getting it so wrong. 12m and 8m is a FAR cry from a little less than 6H! haha
The first clip of NDT I’ve seen where he doesn’t interrupt anybody
There's some hilarious edits of Neil's interruptions on shorts
Cause Joe Doesn't say anything except the question lol
He doesn’t interrupt as much as you’d think, it’s just edited in a way to make you think he does
Old joke
@scaf5363 Based on what besides your racism? Just shows us the video where he's wrong. We'll wait.......
Rogans response is priceless. He has no idea at all what he just heard.
This is why Rogan is the most relatable podcaster in America. No average American knows wtf astrophysics is talking about
Just stop DST ..I'll live with the crap he's talking about 😂
He's been doing too much DMT.
"Jamie, pull up a video of a bear fighting a calendar"

This is what happens in the Persian new year. They count down to the exact minute of the spring equinox and that's the new year, it's the same for everyone.
Finally someone point it out ☺️
🎉❤ persian calendar is awesome 👏
I mean we still have leap years guys
@@hosseinrahimi6045 no a leap year wouldn’t exist
His answer is completely incorrect. Leap years don’t have anything to do with the time of the new year. Because in Iran we celebrate the exact moment of astronomical new year and it changes every year but we still do have leap years. Otherwise, the days wouldn’t be 24 hours.
This would actually be a really cool way to celebrate the new year
Iranians already do this.its called Nowrooz and it is sometimes celebrated in the middle of the night.
@@husseinbonaud1883 It certainly sounds like a custom I could enjoy!
I believe this would bring far too much unity amongst the human race, and would connect each other in a way that breaks boundaries of race, culture and demographic. This is a very dangerous level of connection and oneness that would threaten the world government's status queue.
I ain't celebrating new year at 6am in the morning
No it wouldn't
"Jamie, put the video of a bear fighting a calendar."
Ngl. Everybody in the world celebrating the new year at the same time sounds lit tbh
i like the 13 equal months idea. every months is 28 days and at the end of year there is 1 extra day that would be considered new years day.

I want a 13 month calendar where each month has 28 days
@Abhijeet Kundu Actually it depends on where you are on earth. For exemple, where I am we have four seasons. There also are places where there are 2 seasons.
Then you would have to pay rent another extra month including phone service, water, credit card, car payment, etc.
@@alexandermolina3990 those prices could come down

Bro either everyone commenting dumb as fuck or they just cant do any math. 13 months with 28 days each adds up to 12 month, nothing would change wtf, i hope the people commenting arent that dumb and theyre just playing around
I’m always so happy to see you upload 😊
persian calendar : been doing it for 14 hundred years bro
So during the Roman civil war. Julius ceaser who was the pontifex maximus had fallen behind of adding days into the calendar to keep it accurate from years of campaigning in gale and hispania. So while the calendar was officially mid December or something it was more like late fall. He ended up using this to his advantage to cross the Adriatic Sea to chase pompe because his fleets were operating as if it were winter. Instead of blockading Italy they were in port waiting out the winter. Ceaser made a daring crossing that was still dangerous and managed to embarrass his ex co consul bibulus. It’s really interesting story tbh.
That’s right I remember that now. Thanks for that it is actually very interesting. Not as interesting was NGT answer to the question, wth this man is weak
Later rulers retained the ability to add or delay months from the calendar, often for political reasons if an important vote was coming up.
That's the Persian calender actually. It's at the first day of spring and it's random times every year
It's not random though. It leaps 6 hours each year.
Actually it’s the exact opposite to random and precisely predictable that’s what makes it the most precise calendar
“Boss, could I have New Years Eve off?”
Astrophysicaly is all I needed to here.
In the Persian calendar, the new year starts on the first day of spring. Always a different time.
Exactly
Persian calendar is like that. We celebrate our new years every at different hours. Sometimes 4 in the morning or 1 in the afternoon.
Came here to say the same thing
Also what year does the Persian calendar say you are in? I know different countries use different calendars. Like example America says 2023 for the year but some country on the other side of the world says their calendar states they are in year 1500

I like Dave Gorman idea for a new calendar
13 x 28 Days plus 1 extra day, plus 2 extra days in each leap year.
We need a uniform 13-month, 28-day (exactly 4 week) calendar. The leftover day each year would be New Year's Day between Saturday and Sunday as a 3-day weekend.
I’ve been thinking that for years.
This would be cool. I vote in favour of this motion!
I’m with this so long as the new month is called Smarch (“lousy Smarch”) and the extra day is called Shmunday.
That’s not how it works
@@danielpartin875 What do you mean?
28×13=364 every year there is 1 leftover day that should be used as New Year's. Every Leap Year would have (2) 3-day weekends and every Century Leap Year would follow the same practice by adding a day. I would also suggest remembering the months since a new one will need to be named. September = 7. October = 8. November = 9. December = 10.
We have that calendar for thousands of years in Persia, we celebrate each new year in a different time, exactly when the earth is back on the same old spot, same as he said...👌

Persian calendar is exactly like this. Every year starts at the exact astrophysical time. Some times at 3 a.m. however you would still have the leap years. Since the six hours (approx.) would still accumulate and would need an extra day every 4 years.
Calendar is created by Indians that's why it actually ends in February. Just like Hindu new year comes in March. February used to be last year that's why we reduced the numbers.

Personally I like the Egyptian calendar - 12 months of exactly thirty days with 5 extra holidays at the end. Then you just put a 6th there every leap year.
I like more the 13 months of 28 days. 28 is exactly 4 weeks so every first day of month is monday. And 28x13 is 364 so you just have one extra holiday day or two on leaps.
and 28 is lunar month and 13 means one extra salary

If you left it out and celebrated the new year at midnight on January 1st, eventually the warmest months would be from October through april/mat and the coldest from May through September, and then over time it would shift back to what we're used to
Azimov's New World Calendar solves the problem nicely. There are no months; just four seasons. Each is exactly 13 weeks long, or 91 days. Between Fall 91st and Winter 1st is New Years Day, which isn't a day of the week. Every four years (nearly) there is Leap Day, between Spring 91st and Summer 1st, which is also not a day of the week, and is also a statutory holiday, just like New Years Day.
Joe: "Why isn't it possible..."
Neil cutting him off as always: "It's just not."
Joe, furiously: "Why not you stupid bastard?"

Try this - A 13 month calendar with 28 days each. 1 day adjustment done at new year every year. Every month starts on the same weekday. Every year the holidays stay in the same place. A much more stable calendar.
I would love it if the entire world could celebrate something good simultaneously
Sounds like they haven’t discovered the persian calendar yet. Iranians, kurds, afghans, tajiks and few other ethnic groups actually follow a solar calendar, therefore they celebrate new year and different times of the day usually around march 20th.
Honestly I prefer this. Would be fun to celebrate new years at different points in the day/night
I wouldn’t mind celebrating in the afternoon😂
Iranian new year is exactly like that!
Historically keeping track of years were more important there, than having the new years exactly at 12 AM, etc.
Was looking for this comment
Persian calendar actually does work the same way that Neil described hence, everybody celebrate at the same time together regardless of their location on globe!
"Aaahhhhh.... Hahahaha"
Asked same thing (why calendar is inconsistent) to my elementary teacher, she brought God to the discussion and call me a sinner 🫠
The whole world celebrating New Year at same time makes a lot of sence, actually
A globalism approach removing history and cultures.
Sure, remind me wake up at 3am lol.
The real difference between a physicist and a normal person. A physicist cares what time of the day people celebrate the New Year. A normal person doesn't really care. You could tell them the New Year is actually this morning at 12:15 AM. That normal person would just nod their head say OK and not care in the least.
Ok
its funny cause he started the whole shpeal by saying you would have to not think, this. bravo.
He doesn't care, he's just answering the question
The biggest problem is that there would be no consistency with months/seasons. This year farmers would plant crops on the first of March, 12 years from now everything would've shifted multiple days. Fast forward 50 years and now February is midsummer
Leap years are necessary unless we want everything to move around on the calendar
An astrophysicist understands there are multiple ways to think about time, each which implies a slightly different clock/calendar, and which one is best to use depends on what you want to accomplish.
A "normal person" thinks their narrow understanding of time is 100% right and anyone who sees things differently must be confused. But most normal people these days are so disconnected from the annual cycle that they cannot fathom why farmers would invent a new calendar from scratch themselves, rather than use a stupid one that does not help them track seasons.
Instead of celebrating one day like new years day, celebrate everyday
... each day is unique in itself and deserves a celebration
That's what the Vikings did over 1,000 years ago, they called it Sun Return. There's a huge rock that they bored a huge hole thru and when the sun is in it as seen from a specific viewing spot it's Sun Return.
That's what Persians have been doing for over 2500 years. I can't believe NDT does not know about the the most accurate calendar in the world. BTW, thats not the solution. Persian calendar does have leap year every 4 years.
Agreed. I also think the main problem is not about "when this dates/when new year happens" but about how the error being made each year will pile up and eventually fucks up everyone's perception of date and season.
I can promise you that every astrophysicist understands that there are multiple ways to think about clocks and the calendar, even if they might not be experts on the specific Persian version.
Jumping over the fire before Nooruz is a pretty cool tradition, I must say.

"WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IS" need that on a T-shirt
Alon the same lines my old company paid every two weeks. They actually had an internal calendar of 13 Time Periods that we used for finances, 4 weeks in each,.which is 364 days. So once every 5 years they would include one extra week at the end of the year to adjust it back (like a leap year).
Same logic - they preferred to have accounting done in 4 week cycles instead on monthly. Monthly has different number of days and can have more/less of those days as weekends. The time period had 20 weekdays and 8 weekend days every time.
For those of you who don’t understand, a year is actually ~365.25 days meaning there’s an extra 6 hours we carry over every 4 years to make an extra day. It’s off by a little bit, like 6 minutes or so though
Yes, we all learned that in like 6th grade
