Actual Time Clock

Use the second clock ouput to test whether the actual date and time are occurring during Daylight Saving Time (DST). tf is 1 (true) if c is occurring during DST and 0 (false) otherwise.

As the first clock was created, how did you know what the current time was? What was the time like?

India's timing system is the oldest in the world. Hindi writings give us a lot of information about the different ways and technologies used to measure time in old India. Not only is this measuring system comprehensive, it is also very meticulous and exact. You can find more information about timekeeping in Book I of Vishnu Purana, Book III.

One alternative system described in the Vishnu Purana Time Measure section of Vishnu Purana Book I Chapter III is as follows: A trimarenu is the association of 6 heavenly nuclei. a trutti is the time required to incorporate 3 trimarenus, or 1/1687. Corresponds to the time when the waters overflow in a cup of six paleontal pockets, drilling a borehole with a golden tube that weighs four mashasha and is four-finger-long.

Also known as tithhi or moonday, a tithhi is the time it lasts until the vertical axis between the moons and the stars increases by 12°. Calculation of time between the boxes. Calculation of time among the Devas.

Vishnu Purana Timekeeping in Vishnu Purana Book I Chapter III describes the above as follows: Brahma's time calculation. Vishnu Purana Timekeeping in Vishnu Purana Book I Chapter III describes the above as follows: Sun Temple Konark gears are used as Accurate Sun watch faces and inspire contemporary timepieces.

Twelve pair of bicycles situated at the basis of the sanctuary are the principal attractions of the sanctuary. They are not just normal bicycles, but also tell the time - the spoke of the wheel creates a solar clock. The exact time of night can be calculated by looking only at the shadows thrown by these spoke.

Constructed in 1250 AD, the Konark Sun Dynasty in India is a repository of the mysteries of old India. Even today, folks use it to measure time. Knowing how the solar clock works, we show the time to the exact moment. If you are untrained, the solar clock has 8 main poles that split 24h into 8 parts, which means that the time between two main poles is 3h.

Eight small spheres. Every side spoke is exactly in the center of 2 mainspoons. That means that the secondary spoke splits the 3 h into two halves, so that the time between a main and a secondary spoke is one and a half hrs or 90 mins.

You have 30 pearls between a side and a main radius. In this way we can continue to compute the time to the nearest minutes. Just think how much time and co-ordination would have passed between the cosmonomers, technicians and carvers to do something like this 750 years ago. What can we do to determine the time in the afternoon?

What is the time after dusk? Actually, Konark not only has two bicycles like these. There are 24 bicycles in the sanctuary, all of which are exactly like the sundecks. Did you know that lunar clocks can work just like a sundial at midnight?

If the other bicycles in the Temple could be used as moon clocks, what would happen? A lot of folks think that the other 22 bicycles were cut for ornamental or devotional reasons and have no actual use. That'?s what they thought of the two sundecks. believe it or not, they thought all 24 bikes were only sculpted for beautiness and as Hindu icons.

Some 100 years ago it became known that it was a solar clock when you saw an old yoogi clandestinely computing time. It seems that select individuals have used these bikes for generation after generation and no one else has known about them for 650 years. When they asked him about the other 22 bikes, the Yoga man just wouldn't speak and just left.

As an example, this woodwork has exactly 60 pearls on one main radius. You can now see how confined our understanding of the remainder of the 22 bikes is. There'?s evidence on these bikes that man has missed for hundreds of years. Humans have ignored these references for hundreds of years and think they are Hindu goddesses.

It is also a great example of how humans think that old, inexplicable woodwork is only for cosmetic or spiritual use. When old men spend a great deal of time making something, there is a very good possibility that it has been done for a precious science use. It is time to open our minds to better comprehend our past, because only then can we comprehend our present to better shape our futures.

Jantar Mantar in Jaipur is actually one of six large observed areas constructed by the Maharajas. Even though no telescope instrument was available at that time, accurate observations of the star were made much easier by telescopes like Jantar Mantar. Attention should also be drawn to the fact that such a project (six large astronomical observatories, full-time priest's headquarters, etc.) did not involve low costs.

It has been said that both the astrologers and the astronomers were the reason to construct these constructions. In contrast to the "West", it was not so much pseudoscientific but more objective and experimented with it. Old India's contribution to space is well known and well documentary. First clues to space are found in the Rig Veda dating back to 2000 BC.

Over the next 2500 years, until 500 A.D., antique India has proved to be an important part of India's astronomical research, and its effects are also seen in several papers of that time. Aside from this connection of cosmonomy with cosmology in old India, the sciences of cosmology developed further in an independent way and peaked in inventive discoveries such as:

Astronomically based fire alerts were found in the towns of the third century in India. Lagadha was the author of a text on Venetian Astronomy dating from 1350 BC. Brehmagupta (598-668) was the director of the Ujjain astronomical observatory and during his term he composed a text on 628 space science, the Brahmasphutasiddhanta.

Other important astronomer from India are Madhava and Nilakantha. Astronomically based fire alerts were found in the towns of the third thousand years in India. India's language refers to the sciences of the astronomer as Khagola-shastra. In Khagola the renowned astronomer Aryabhatta from India study and expanded the topic in the fifthury.

It also made an exact approach to the perimeter and diameters of the Earth and also found out how the Moon Elipse and the Sun Elipse take place for the first time. At that time, India's cosmonomy took much of its guidance from Hindu cyclical cosmonology, in which natural science worked in cycle, and created the conditions for the search for numeric pattern in the anticipated periods of darkness.

In 476 A.D. Aryabhatta is said to have been birth in a city named Ashmaka in today's state of Kerala, India. As a young lad, he was sent to the University of Nalanda to learn astronomy. It made significant contribution in the sphere of spaceflight. Even in old India darkness was predicted and its real character at least recognized by an astronomer.

There was no microscope, which hampered the further development of old India telescopes. However, one should admit that the old India observers, with their unsupported raw instrumental observation, have come to an almost perfectly accurate measure of stellar motion and forecast of darkness. India's telescopes were also used by telescopes and telescopes.
