Your whole life you have believed that you understand time and how it works. You believe that there are twenty four hours in a day, sixty minutes in an hour, and sixty seconds in a minute. But if you think about it, that is wrong. Here’s how. There are actually three hundred sixty and one fourth days in a year. We just keep this fourth on the side until we have four of them to make an extra day. A.K.A. Leap Year. So by knowing this, we can now break down our time as follows: You think: But actually: 365 days in a year 365.24 days in a year 24 hours in a day 24.01578 hours in a day 60 minutes in an hour 60.03945 minutes in an hour 60 seconds in a minute 60.03945 seconds in a minutes As I have clearly shown…..there are more than sixty seconds in a minute.
