4 Matters in Time

Imagine we divided our day into four six-hour sections: sunside day, midnight to midday, darkside day, and midday to midnight, each pulsing with exactly 360 minutes. This brings us to 1,440 minutes a day, spiraling into a fascinating 5,760 minutes every four days.

Now, let's connect this rhythm to a larger cosmic beat. If we follow a calendar with 360 days, every six years we'd clock 2,160 days, mirroring the moon's diameter in miles. Each six-year period takes us through a complete zodiac cycle, tying us into an even grander cosmic dance: the 25,920-year cycle known as the precession of the equinoxes.

Now think about Earth wrapped by a square, each side measuring 7,920 miles, totaling 31,680 miles around. From this total, if you subtract the 25,920 years of the full precession cycle, you’re left with 5,760, echoing back to our four-day minute total.

This reveals a hidden symmetry between circles and squares. The number 360 stitches them together, not just shaping the circle but defining the square, split into four perfect right angles. Understanding this helps us see how deeply connected these shapes are, teaching us about balance, harmony, and the eternal cycles within the universe.

This isn’t just math; it’s a way of seeing the world, a pattern that repeats from the daily spin of our planet to the vast stretches of cosmic time. It’s a reminder that in the grand design, everything is interconnected, each cycle and each shape revealing the profound unity of our universe.
