The Holocene calendar, also known as the Holocene Era or Human Era (HE), is a year numbering system that adds exactly 10,000 years to the currently dominant (AD/BC or CE/BCE) numbering scheme, placing its first year near the beginning of the Holocene geological epoch and the Neolithic Revolution, when humans shifted from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to agriculture and fixed settlements.
The global average and combined land and ocean surface temperature show a warming of 1.09 °C (range: 0.95 to 1.20 °C) from 1850–1900 to 2011–2020, based on multiple independently produced datasets. [26] : 5 The trend is faster since 1970s than in any other 50-year period over at least the last 2000 years.
The major component of these variations occurs with a period of 405,000 years [7] (eccentricity variation of ±0.012). Other components have 95,000-year and 124,000-year cycles [7] (with a beat period of 400,000 years). They loosely combine into a 100,000-year cycle (variation of −0.03 to +0.02). The present eccentricity is 0.0167 [7] and ...
The average American works close to 40 hours per week, and there are 52 weeks in a year. Doing the math tells us that there are 260 work days (52 weeks x 5 days) and 2,080 work hours (52 weeks x ...

“Regular” LED light bulbs last around 25,000 to 50,000 hours (the ones I linked above are experimental), but that doesn’t necessarily mean 25,000 to 50,000 hours till they fail, like ...
The missing years in the Hebrew calendar refer to a chronological discrepancy between the rabbinic dating for the destruction of the First Temple in 422 BCE (3338 Anno Mundi) [1] and the academic dating of it in 587 BCE. In a larger sense, it also refers to the discrepancy between conventional chronology versus that of Seder Olam in what ...
