Summary

Welcome to Mysterious Universe Season 35 Episode 16! What do you know of how the calendar was created? Hundreds of specialized or regional calendars have existed throughout history, major calendar systems are often grouped into solar, lunar, and lunisolar types, with six principal systems commonly recognized today. Tom Sherman has sorted out the wishy-washy Gregorian and offers the realm something better, A New Calendar. Perhaps it’s time we examine the time we keep? In our Plus+ extension, we dive back into some wild NDE stories! From a 1-year-old memory of being drowned in a bathtub, to an ex-military man experiencing his version of heaven, all the way to capping it off with a terrifying story of a young man who had direct contact with what he describes as hell! These stories are always interesting and really challenge (or maybe give hope to) the endless debate over what happens when we exit this mortal coil.

What do you know of the calendar that most of us use and how it was created?

1:00.0

Does the way calendaring is done currently feel a bit confusing and inconsistent? Do you know that a

1:08.0

consistent calendar is even possible? What if a new calendar enters your life experience and along with it came an opportunity to reclaim your perception of time to a standardized unit of measurement?

1:21.6

What if keeping calendrical time was like baking or engineering or any facet of other human endeavors which requires

1:30.1

consistency to function efficiently. I am your temporally tidy host, Brandon Thomas, and with me as

1:37.0

always is Jillian Jumpin' Joe Hodgson. Dude, yeah, so we've brought this topic up before,

1:45.5

but I'm glad we're actually going to get into it so that people know what the hell we're talking about, because I think we just

1:49.2

mentioned it a couple shows ago, actually, about how much more temporarily tidy it is to have

1:54.5

a 13-month calendar and how off, I'm sure you'll get into it, but how off it is right now

2:00.1

with October being the 10th month and November being the 11th month. You know, like it's just, oh yeah. None of it makes sense. And there's 30 days in this one, 28 and this one and 31 and these ones. It's, yeah, it's a mess. It's absolutely nuts and you're incredibly correct. Now, what would you say to a 10-month calendar? I mean, break it out, let's see. Yeah, I know. So, Tom, this guy named Tom Sherman, who we're going to talk about in here, it's one of these things to where it's like, do you even think about that? Have you ever even thought about the calendar, like, to a deep degree or ever just sat down and been like, why is it like this? Have you ever thought about that? Well, yeah, especially once I heard about the Mandela effect. That one tripped me up because of the whole, I think I've brought it up to you, but the, I could have sworn on a stack of Bibles that Thanksgiving was the third Thursday of November.

2:51.4

That's how I always remembered it.

2:53.0

And then one day a couple years ago, I figured out that it was the fourth Thursday in November

2:57.9

and that it's always been that apparently.

3:00.4

But there's a lot of people I've talked to who remember it being the third Thursday.
