For determination of the day of the week (1 January 2000, Saturday) the day of the month: 1 ~ 31 (1) the month: (6) the year: (0) the century mod 4 for the Gregorian calendar and mod 7 for the Julian calendar (0). adding 1+6+0+0=7. Dividing by 7 leaves a remainder of 0, so the day of the week is Saturday. The formula is w = (d + m + y + c) mod 7.
Diagram showing the relationship between the Chaldean order of the classical planets (outer circle) and the order of the days of the week (heptagram) As each day is divided into 24 hours, the first hour of a day is ruled by the planet three places down in the Chaldean order from the planet ruling the first hour of the preceding day; [2] i.e. a ...
Applying the Doomsday algorithm involves three steps: determination of the anchor day for the century, calculation of the anchor day for the year from the one for the century, and selection of the closest date out of those that always fall on the doomsday, e.g., 4/4 and 6/6, and count of the number of days between that date and the date in ...
If you were born on an even-numbered day, you should have a fairly good time on days that add up to other even numbers. On the other hand, days that add up to other odd numbers could present a ...
These formulas are based on the observation that the day of the week progresses in a predictable manner based upon each subpart of that date. Each term within the formula is used to calculate the offset needed to obtain the correct day of the week. For the Gregorian calendar, the various parts of this formula can therefore be understood as follows:
The first scientific theories indicating that the age of the universe might be finite were the studies of thermodynamics, formalized in the mid-19th century. The concept of entropy dictates that if the universe (or any other closed system) were infinitely old, then everything inside would be at the same temperature, and thus there would be no ...
Leap Day babies make up a small percentage of the population, but several notable people have been born on Feb. 29 in even-numbered years. Here are a few notable names: Ja Rule (rapper)
To do this, you add the digits together until you end up with a single digit between 1-9. For example: If your birthday is February 2 and the year is 2024, that looks like 2 + 2 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 4 ...
