Somebody researched on the inside of exoskeleton of the coral. Understandably, the inside of the coral had about 365 grooves depicting the days in the year and the change in the tides. Some smart professor decided to go one step further and looked into prehistoric corals. To his astonishment, he consistently found 400 to 410 grooves in them. The great minds started wondering...
Is it possible that the year was longer in the prehistoric days when the Earth was in its 'infancy'? It turned out that there is a plausible explanation to this end.
The Earth, just after the Big Bang was devoid of a moon. In its place when just meteorites, hence the mass that was rotating the sun was following a different orbit (longer). When the meteorites coalesce to form the Moon, the gravitational force of the Moon slowed Earth, hence shortening the number of days in a year!
The things that you learn.... limitless!

It does not make any difference whether
ReplyDelete410 days or 365 days right. Interesting explanation.
Life goes on.
ReplyDeleteit is the theories and explanation that is most mind boggling!
