Classification: society/culture >> Historical topics

Problem description:

It seems that foreign astronomers calculated that it happened to be 1 day, and it was cancelled that day. Everybody help.

Analysis:

According to the current calendar records, there are actually ten days in the world when no one was born, no one died, and no memorable person or event happened. This is the period from1October 5th 1582, 10 to June 14.

It turns out that before 1582, the passage through julian calendar and julian calendar was very inaccurate, with an error of three days every 400 years. By 1582, the error has reached ten days. Due to this mistake, festivals and dates were mixed up. At that time, agriculture was carried out in accordance with the solar terms, with a difference of ten days, which brought many difficulties to agricultural production.

At this time, a doctor named Glio proposed the Gregorian calendar. Pope Gregory XIII adopted this calendar. What about the error of ten days? Pope Gregory XIII ordered that 1582, 10/0/the day after October 4th be changed to 10, 15 years, so that the 10-day error disappeared and disappeared without a trace in history. Of course, these ten days have not been recorded in history books. The Gregorian calendar has been used to this day.
