hello and welcome to stargaze monthly
webinar we're here in the staircase of
offices in Baltimore Maryland I want me
to Goldberg your host and today we're
pleased to have relative of ever journey
with us say thank you thank you for
coming over ever thank you for having me
up these webinars I held the last ones
every each month and they are archived
on the vimeo you can look on the vimeo
search for star k webinars and you
should be able to find them you can also
call in if you would like I'll give you
the phone number it's 218 895 1203 again
218 895 1203 pass code 2020 and I want
to thank in advance our tech support
Robert Rubin Chapman miss Debbie
Rosenstein for their continued
assistance so today we're going to talk
about the leap second grabbing ever but
which I didn't know too much about
before we before we looked into into
doing this but you know the gamar says
that that you start we start with it
with a light comment a joke sometimes
right so is this there is a a joke about
a certain shul that was very careful
about starting on time and they have
always would start to the minyanim
exactly all the time so the closet goes
up and he looks at the clock he sees it
says ten o'clock so he turns to the gaba
and he says is it time we got my says no
now so or is they gotta do it exactly on
time um so there is a there is a lot I
think there's some interest about this
leap second like what it was all about
and what is what is the meaning first
from a we'll talk about first from a
astronomical perspective what is it and
secondly from a locking perspective I
should mention that rubbish ever is as
we
to the email or whatever is a is an
expert on smilin on Jewish time and in
time in Jewish law and he has written
his safer called shari's mono and it's
available at at rotate what's the name
of the round robin love is i think right
it's a caress tribulus distributed or
specific send some distributors it's a
some bookstores mr. the by rubble of its
around a chap and keep at this number
down there for the safer 718 3770 377 00
47 so I noticed i we have it looking
around it is like some consternation
about this it's next week next tuesday
right all right and uh the stock market
is worried about it they may they may
they're worried they may crash well
actually if it should be close by that
because it's been it's a minute it's a
second before midnight and greenwich
time so that would be five hours here so
be seven o'clock at night so in other
words would be well off our show if you
don't notice how we're training this off
I'm training I'm not sure exactly what
but some of it some of the markets are
closing during that time because they're
free of some little glitches yeah so
let's start at the beginning which is
what is a leap second about and why do
we need it and sure okay so people think
of time of course seconds there are 60
seconds of minutes if Vincent now or we
all know that 24 hours in a day so if
you break it down it takes 24 hours for
a day which means the Sun will rise in
the morning at 24 hours later it'll rise
again as we all know it's not exactly 24
hours later but on average if you take
an average over the course of the year
sometimes it summarizes 1 24 hours later
something less but if over the course of
the year the day time takes the sunrise
to come is 24 hours if you break that
down into different parts to see in a
day you have 86,400 seconds 60 seconds
10 minutes 15 minutes on etc however the
Earth has the rotation of the earth has
irregularities in the rotation therefore
that you know number of years back as
science became more of technology gruel
and and you know these these executives
became were more known to scientists
they realize it that this this average
little made a little bit off so they
redefine a second based on um it's known
you've heard the term atomic clock the
time of clocks what is it type of clock
what does that mean what is atomic about
o'clock so the answer is it's precise
and it's based on certain cycles and
frequencies of cesium atom and radiation
that's released it's a certain number
given nine billion hundred ninety two
million 630 1770 so so you take that
number that's a certain number of a
number of of the frequency of this annum
and when that when that happens that
many times that's a second I see okay so
that's the scientific stuff which is
beyond my exactly what's happening i
typically lobby things to happen in one
physicist well you know look at a lot of
atoms in this you know and you're
figuring it also this okay it's
unbelievable then the plus i by ray of
to punish a lot of attachments it
calculate some really you know fraction
literally billions of a is going to make
a difference to billions of this anyway
so it was sort of redefine that it was
made it's called more precise but what
happens is over time the Earth's because
these irregularities in the earth etc
they need to get it back on track so
that it's everything's back soon as you
say recognized right it's you calculate
everything out and you make the
calculations if you see that there's a
variation periodically and hence they in
order to to get it back on track they
add a second periodically this will be
the 26th a leap second that's been added
it's typically added the last second of
the year in december 31st but also it
could be done
so they're trying to get it in sync with
the earth rotation then what happened
then which I understand so but i read
that they started in 1977 sup like that
so what happens the first 5,000 years
old off in other words i mean how do we
exist somehow we have a problem so what
happened in 1977 that they decided that
we gotta add a few seconds the answer is
and why don't they had 20 seconds or
anything they didn't they didn't it
didn't matter so to speak and ultimately
really the scope of it over thousands of
years doesn't really make a difference
now what happens is because because of
so many so much technology every second
right as such a you know when you're
dealing on the scope of of you know
satellites which work you know literally
to the nanosecond everything has to be
has to be sink streaming it's sick but I
put up on the screen over heaven was a
screenshot from the last leap second
which was three years ago so you can see
the oddity of it it says 23 59 and 60
seconds there isn't no there isn't any
60 seconds it should be 20 20 20 for it
should desireless the februari 20 what
should be zapped and that's not even 24
it should be it should be the next day
when should be around would be all what
exactly right ready Sunday so it really
is electro srija Lee is the next day so
they added it that's that's the leap
second there they took a picture of the
video that's what the screenshot is but
I saw also that there are different ways
of dealing with it some computer why
some will add another second some will
just stop stop the clock for a second
and some will extend the seconds the
first the last couple seconds before
partially they'll be extended to me or
say a third of a second longer and then
as I took 33 seconds of the third second
has up to a second so different ways of
dealing with it from a computer
perspective I want to mention that we do
have a chat box here if anybody has any
questions for everybody ever so feel
free to chat with us i'm going to bring
that up right now so feel free to chat
here on the bottom
we'll try to take your questions okay so
that's in a nutshell what is what they
leap take out what's what is trying to
do but ok let's took let's move on to
the office of it help us hellz no sleep
secular well technically speaking
because it's such a small amount of time
we practically speaking for example if
you're looking at a madam we usually
don't leave things to the last second
anyway in other words if you're feeling
it sighs my Priya shmeh for example the
next day of any blew up and if you can
get it to the second which I'll tell you
why that's not such a good idea wait for
that second mysa technically only one
second off because all that is to get
back at the sink once you add a second
just like much about the Redeemer if you
use a sunrise sunset charcoal Navy
charts that were used for every year
technically if you had a march first
coming after februari 29th those times
were varied because some museum fairly
29 some years he did so if you had a
favorite of 29 you look at this man IM
of march first for that matter the whole
year it's going to be the sunrise sunset
could be different a march first after
fibia 29 ok don't think out different
charts for their well now now in the
more sophisticated where we live in
there tries to come out for every year
but the Naval Observatory which is what
you know what as a kid you know we grew
up with those charts I didn't grow up
against guys maybe you didn't know okay
there were few they were that we're
ready now when I was a kid to work
computer generated charts but not really
to the second and they were hard to find
for you know every year a new one that's
relatively new thing but my set again
practically speaking this not really
such a knife Camino because no one
should wait to the last second sacrus
mad because it's not a good idea Seconal
you can't get it done by then in a
second and most important even charts
that give you to the second are not
exact because let's say talk about
sunrise and the reason for that is when
you look at a chart of sunrise and
sunset to the second there are various
factors that could change that including
the weather of the barometric pressure
and so on is no way to sit here no way
for me to tell you right now
definitively when sunset will be
tonight in Baltimore Maryland to the
second there's no way to know pretty
much until you figure out the weather
conditions that are going on at that
point of course even even altitude Kevin
have an impact which is a really
separate issue but we then I got calls
you know baby was born sign hospital
which is the hospital many children and
from from families use in Baltimore and
they had a baby right at the Shia and
now the question is once the bris is it
let's say it would be today was the bris
gonna be next week on wednesday or
thursday and we sat and you know their
two resident experts in town that
commits calculations fish kind and belly
ride learn and we sat on the phone
analyzing exactly where sign hospital is
what the weather conditions were to try
to get to the second as to when she Kia
was in order to determine that it was so
close anyway you should anyway it was
born five secs before your calculator
kiya this down a matter like 40 seconds
why'd you have to make sure you ever
think you know was was there then you
really have to avoid his that says that
300 years ago there was no way anyone
could have known exactly when sunset and
sunrise i was all approximations while
he watched our associate actually watch
notice it a calculated paper it was much
harder in those days in a way it was
easier because they weren't such tall
buildings and therefore you just go
outside when they say the diamond at
nates hammer days victim ro we have to
assume that they had those who diaz
really go outside and it was a natural
phenomenon unlike today you know I when
I'm out driving somewhere middle nowhere
at a time the biggest thrills to try to
kind of exactly when that Sun dipped and
then if I'm able to know exactly where I
was at this rare I could do this but you
know make the calculations that I
actually saw the truce on son huh okay
that's rare so this is so the short term
there is no real difference for a second
correct what about long-term of a period
of time they said is 25 there's been 25
seconds right that's right we look 16
exact would that make a difference it's
actually
when I wrote the safer saw it I tried to
come up with I haven't checked out of
Paragon kiddush levanah my latest I'm
sickish levantas and the earliest i'm
sitting on them now drama says the
latest I'm sickish lavonda is halfway
between one mile in the next in other
words basically until the moment the
moon comes full it's the latest time you
could take your chiffon actually remind
everybody a lot of places for cloudy
this week what's the showers all right
people shouldn't say Kesha Fonda one day
when they have opportunity to do so what
do you mean it was cloudy I just as my
job my cities cost anyway what is
absolute past the latest possible moment
to say kiddush levana staff over to a
mile in one mile of the next now the
time of the muddula that's given is the
time of fish align and assumes the our
bias and more specific the mahkum
kozhikode that's the Shaam eyelid when
they give that time the mullet is enough
is an astronomical event when the when
the moon is between the Earth and the
Sun and they're aligned sometimes a
little higher or lower eclipse but it's
good being eclipsed upon which is a
whole other discussion but they're all
online and at that moment when they're
aligned what is on average what is the
time on electric now over time so so
when is that and how do you make those
calculations so over time the clocks
have been changed which have been
practical enough commune is the
difference in a lotta which maybe we'll
talk about a little bit later but for
example standard time was it change in
you shall I and change their time 21
minutes they turn their clock 21 minutes
to facilitate what we call standard time
which means the whole the whole stands
at times W Schleim is in is two hours
later than England seven hours later
than America the time to Baltimore
example in a day or so they added 21
minutes they actually at one day when it
was 12 21 approximately actually 12 22
56 seconds they turned their clocks back
when was it I don't leash landed in
America it was done I believe I'm
in 1883 the railroads actually called
for this to in order to because we all
wrote were different times was a lot of
confusion New York have different times
in Baltimore Boston Philly New York
baltimore-washington all at different
times it was a different time and any
given moment was right now it's 12 16
p.m. eastern standard time issues
daylight savings time he's the daylight
time but but that's all because we all
turned our clocks on my 18th 1883 so
that the whole East Coast for that
matter always did time zone was it sick
and that's the way it's remained some
some of the time zone has been changed a
little bit subsidies have flipped from
you know one to the other basically we
have the same four time zones since
since 1883 it was it was mayor no fabric
stuff which one was made was november
eight is right either way it was it was
a it was eighteen eighty-three now every
stall also made that change so that's
one different status or ramification on
according to many shooters secular
slavonic because if we tampered with the
clock anyway to make a long story short
one of the things i discussed is does in
my original version of the safer i wrote
that you have to change it by when i
would say it was only 23 seconds but now
will be 26 seconds this seismic
additional phone has to be modified with
26 seconds because of the change now
practically speaking who's waiting for
the last 26 seconds in kosovo know right
you know not do you mean what the time
like that they announced well though
always announce the model they
announcing them up but it coming for the
end from there from there when you go
from there how much do you add together
to use the one you have to have 26
seconds that's what you say as we wrote
a personal check we will you deduct what
is appetizing so so someone actually i
got two letters from from people who run
safer explaining that null that if I
carrot the opposite is true because the
real time is the leap second is fixing
the Kenneth Clark the fact that it got
off is was wrong nose had it not been
for the leap second
that have to modify it by the 26 seconds
because it's odd today were correcting
it and now it's the correct time so
that's correct right so I ain't got a
little research on this exactly when you
say the myelin which one is it using is
it you know the solvent have the cesium
atom to wrestle it's a Howard there was
a worthy regular is their sudden and I
was Pacific so what am I read every
published is safe for really only
electronically and we're number of
errors in the air numbers were off there
were some typos etc some fish minus
we're outside redid it and corrected
those and actually we put it was put up
on new books that work where the safe
was available and in there I changed
that as a blanket statement to more of
tardy in saying that what impact was
this leap second half on the exact time
of the service mikonos a maybe can it
might not now might be correct where
beforehand it was incorrect not very
good okay um okay we have a few comments
over here Adam wants to talk more about
the the birth when they count the birth
and only met for it for afterwards you
can count I grab a hammer for that
pinterest says I don't know whether it
was november November's it yeah okay
they switched to a new standard time
right correct on the vibrator that make
it so you mentioned you mentioned while
he was talking about ever that that
about the hair advice about the Temple
Mount and the color code ocean the Holy
of Holies that's that's weird could
explain how that fits into the right
correct if we're saying that every place
really is a different time based on your
location and you know Baltimore
Philadelphia actually Baltimore changed
to stay on the time which was a line
running through basically facili
Philadelphia little bit sort of the east
part so everyone change so when you're
dealing with the middle of time that is
dealing that with with the stand of time
but it was it's telling you that the
solar time of your schlong Iraq Eilish
namely than our bias so I tried to
calculate exactly it coming up insects
and fish lavona i calculated
exactly the heart bias and that's going
to be really the basis of two things
number one shasa milos for that place so
if you want to know that we have them
all that we announce ensure her every
month is in your shall I'm that that
much I think that's the time of you it's
a time in your time on average of when
these you know the Sun Moon and Earth or
a line which is the chatham I delivered
my load means renew rid of Burt born the
moon gets smaller smaller smaller this
is split second where they're aligned
and this split-second at less than the
split second later it all happens it
goes to zero and then starts again so
that's a mileage so what does it have to
do with the Kodiak reduction exactly so
we're just saying that the way that the
time of the my lad would be when you say
the my love is that you know 2 p.m. this
coming Wednesday let's say or this
coming good whatever the time we'll
announce that is the solar time at the
credit record a shimmer you know on
average at the concert reduction that's
that's that's the time at therefore
that's your starting point and now if
you want to calculate standard time you
have to take that point and see how much
off the stand a timeline it is so again
Baltimore's to Philadelphia did it
eastern time zone is based on 75 degrees
west of grunge Grandage of course is the
line that runs through an observatory in
an inland eric's easter all goes with
two hours east of of greenwich so
therefore that's a lie that I believe
runs through Egypt somewhere so Eric
Staal changed o'clock how much you
change your clock depends on how far
east view are from that line the more
east you get the more you change your
clock so main you know Eastport Maine
and van buren Maine which are the
eastern parts of Maine change their
clock you know a lot on that stand the
time they Baltimore change by about 6
minutes north dakota the west north
western part of North Dakota change a
clock at 59 minutes because they were
literally an hour off said he would say
that technique a labels attached by that
point on our bias is critical so also an
issue that came up you know where's our
bias exactly so that's actually very
thing that so commonly known there's
actually pointed out to me after all so
let's say after that safer and that is
there's a must like as we shine them as
to where on our maps where the current
election was and it has enough for me
and I'll tell awesome in a moment
related to the international date line
as well but the standard you know if you
ask the average person in the street or
they ever tour guide there are bias they
will tell you that of course where the
doggone right right right at places
where the petrol collection was so that
is the opinion of the of the rod vas
right and that's the classic place now
it's far so therefore an annual you'll
change your clock from that point on if
you go into the tunnel tours in by the
cocoa I think there's a sign there
they'll tell you like this right away
right how can they are placed in their
special place people go to daven right
exactly but how far in is it that's dumb
interactor is um there is a website of
someone who actually mapped all the
international Dateline's but all
opinions based on these are based it on
this it's the java if you google java
and a line you know hahaha look at the
forgot the exact name of the website but
you get a map that shows you weird our
biases where the all the deadlines are
which again is going to be for example
the ostentatious bait line is where
shabbos you know nothing because the
chances give me exactly one quarter of
the globe east of you shal i am which is
90 degrees or six hours east of your
shall i'm nowhere so you start with our
bias the right doc is of the opinion
that the mahkumat mcdouche was really
the Dome of the rock is where them is
bath one of them was bath was which
means that the Quecha kardashian is
really about 180 feet to the west of at
that point you have enough kamina of 180
feet now now if you're normally hundred
eighty feet doesn't I mean I'm just
trying to remember according to the
housing ish the dateline doesn't go
through correct some land mass in Larry
so we talked to the correct
inhale mascara fauna this is maybe a
tenth of a second quarter sex is no real
time laughing minute but I did find this
voice this afternoon's a discussion
actually a practical left me la-la we're
between the ref on sunday where our
dynamic dishes as an island in the
philippines if you look at a map you'll
see the fascinations line which again is
a quarter of the globe east of of fish
line now just just to explain more point
it has any child that based on the site
islands were tama to rush through the
rush that the dateline cannot run
through land and if it would you think
of the practical mean as you'd be
shyness would be here and you know using
New York as an example on 13th Avenue it
would be you know friday afternoon and a
14th Avenue they would be initial showed
us if the tale I ran through borrow
partner which would be of interest
because you could keep shops two days or
you could you know if you're busy with
work you could spend shine you can spend
Friday on 13th Avenue and then you know
my lips and time go to Ford to Gavin you
and now it's there Michelle should is
here on our shop is and then you go back
to work you know they're so that you
can't have that there's an island
suppose goes to land so you know when it
goes to land the classic gray which
means hugs it correctly the whole if you
don't have the coast and the whole land
is going to follow the the west so
Australia for example follows the
western part estrada there's an island
in the Philippines called San Pedro
island which is in the eastern visayas
area and that island actually if you
look you'll see that it has an issues
Dateline mrs. it maybe by 50 60 feet
which means that according to according
to that that island is a Suffolk shabbos
and cause a quintal constitutes an
island so it's really you know it's
ready to click on of communal whether
that line now has your Navy feet makes a
difference if it's a rabbit correct
please the land or not actually come to
think of it though maybe not
femina now because it's other routes on
the left side so I'll never give in
around anything well it's either to the
east of it no no I'm not my it may be on
the west of it anyway so it hasn't ish
might love you prompts I may be
incorrect on that but we got another
Island that's the case where the hundred
eighty feet could make those I've give
me this if you say graver they're not
but it's not practically a case I I
think I'm incorrectly and that's a
scratch that from the record not take it
more right it's going to be on the west
side so contrast which is going to be
hard will make enough movement I need a
line on the other side okay okay fair
enough okay I just want to reiterate
we're here with rabid dog whatever in
stark your offices our webinars are held
the last Wednesday of every month and
and if you want to join us or get the
emails about what the webinars about
send us an email to info @ star desh ke
org also if you have questions about
katras about anything else that we can
help you with you can email it there a
course at 410 44 4 110 just a point of
reference next next month and July we'll
be off for our summer summer break and
continue God willing at the end of
august um okay remember no sin came up
his second this extra second from hot
Java perspective Jewish outlook that the
Gomorrah says the h co khone laga be
shot office that a person can gain on
hop in one second shower literally means
in our bed over there it means 11 second
person can do something in one second
that he can what can you say in one
second one second you say I'm sorry you
know that takes a second you can do a
lot of the same I think or since I have
to too much cuz i'm here with the second
one is first of all you see that by by
bilham coming alone Russia is a parraga
not actually a wrecker it is about seven
or eight sheets as to how long a ring it
is
if he knew he knew the second when I
shine was actually like a lot of days
judging all the decimals that give a
ragout all she does have an eight minute
somehow it's point that I know the
numbers in front of you but so I didn't
keep them to Chris class all times to
say as highly conserved short time I
says that he started it started at CC
you see me the peroneus rights artists
can make problems in such a short time
imagine how much you could do to do good
at the time oh he could have Santos if
it doesn't want to answer they could
have said Colleen destroy the like right
right destroy then more you could have
started in that count exactly right
daughter huh Chicago wish I say over
sometimes enjoy and Russia's is about a
second as follows you know it would be
clients were mad acting in a lotta river
in the dock taken in exactly when and
there's a six-month furlough section
Krishna and talk about time now and you
really you know the dicta by is very
important if a person is lacks in that
same you know what's them as I miss it
by five minutes or ten minutes or a few
seconds like why is that promise I
likely the following Marshall imagine
you have a Super Bowl being played and
your you know your team is playing and
there's one second on the clock and
you're at the your team is on the scores
on scene 3129 and you're on the opposing
teams you know ten you're online you
know they call timeout clock stops with
one second left and that all they need
to do is bring out their field goal crew
and kick a field goal in one second
remaining and they win the super bowl
and the referees come and say you know
what a player 8 59 minutes 59 seconds
what he dragged the cover is tired
everyone's gone it's only a second
anyway forget the second right it would
be riots let me ride with you would go
to the Supreme Court you know it would
be it would be huge because it's
actually there's a lot of money on the
line there's a lot of pride on the line
this discover there's so many things on
the line that's all hanging on that one
second that could be enough convener
that any sport any sports fan will
appreciate the huge difference between
this team or that team winning its
millions of dollars and
ripple effect of what goes on so no
referee whatever do such a thing so
we'll handle delle of alpha on river ice
right we're giving the opportunity to
mitzvahs which are worth more than Super
Bowl trophies and worth more than all
that you know exponentially can even be
a shire what it was worth so the every
second does count em absolutely okay um
and and and the leap second gave us an
opportunity to talk about all the story
itself itself it's maybe that's why they
created a little take notes because i
read somewhere exist no second i read
that is even the dispute among the
experts whether or not we need these
leap seconds the institute of them in
1977 and then it's not clear not
everybody's in agreement they want to
solve them they don't need it were on
the only seconds right so maybe we'll
today it's the whole whole purpose of it
maybe was the way we could have you know
Tory webinar about it i once called
government agency in Colorado I was
working on as well so good and I want
some information I stumble across this
this Bureau and I called a lot but I
asked the birth to something you know
happy summer I remember exactly but I do
a general time so the person said I only
work on seconds he told me there was
this whole job because it seems the
press your professor of a second I don't
think I mean it's just saying this right
right right so father has been hours
yesterday just alright sunset I'm only
other tomorrow aster of the seconds
uh-huh so I couldn't talk like you do
know it is i found that fascinating i
say that's interesting okay so um maybe
we'll say maybe you'll say a few words
about about the general impact of a
stronger jewish calendar available would
but so we know you know a lot of it we
know it relates the tides it's madame x
admirer of the chakras midsummer all
relate to it the jewish calendar of
course it relates to it and so on what
what i wanted to focus on maybe is the
impact of the homicidal of the nations
of the world and their changes and how
it impacts on our haha knows for example
one example be savings time the same
time is is
of they add extra they don't and our
they modify the clock of a throw as a
clock ahead in the summer it's saving
because you're basically shifting an
hour of daylight from the early morning
when most people are asleep to the
evening where people could use it more
so if Baltimore instead the Sun rising
today for 40 and setting it the
approximately seven forty it rises at
five forty insensate a 40 and therefore
the hour between 442 540 of sunlight
were where most people were asleep is
not transferred to the evening where
most people are going to utilize that
enough to turn on the lights on and so
that's that's the lungs behind it but I
knew impact on clients well the shabbos
is an hour later what's a shabbos is an
hour later people travel what's a
shabbos means it's your anything an hour
later on the clock we work we are we
work by the clock it also you know Sun
rises in the wintertime or the fall come
difficult with Davenant because we were
late because the right lane another
October early November it's extremely
late so people have child's with a
diamond so early well still dark I want
to mention that we did have actually we
had a weapon are you that you spoke it's
a it should be on our archives so if you
want to look at Vimeo Starrcade kosher
you'll see type in daylight savings time
you'll see we ever expounds on at length
I was other thing is the change was 1582
the calendar was changed in 10 days were
taken out of the calendar and now every
100 years 3x three out of every hundred
years 1700 1800 1900 2,100 2,200 there's
a leap day that's trapped out and that
has that has practical ramifications on
talabot are and it also interesting
enough really on our whole young type in
because we're always keeping the Jewish
calendar and sync with the secular
calendar so like you know people like to
have the summer schools typically start
around Labor Day but yet in an early
year that becomes difficult because
we're spending kids go to school for
Hashanah 1964 Arizona was Labor Day 1994
it was
it was you know also the day the labor
day and the next day was ever shot and
so and become difficult had not been for
the calendar change in 1582 rosh
hashanah would commonly fall out in
august that was a common with who
definitely had an end of August it would
end of august and you just think about
it the Hebrew calendar would be 13 days
earlier than it is which means on on
just mentally that would be instead of
Shoshanna beginning sometime between
September 15 October fifth roughly it
would begin you know august twenty-third
September 23rd roughly we see a manager
Hashanah being you know august
twenty-third 25th so that change helped
that actually helped that actually close
enough I can't could be we would work
differently it could be cool Oh be
different school right we'll remember
the season the eggs are puncture the
seasons and but who knows who knows what
happened but you know that's not it did
have an effect I want to mention
remember that that our sons are in the
same class in school in the US reagan is
graduation 500 songs Sally chapter
graduation so I mention that that my son
says that your son picked up this event
you have four fours manan and my son
says if you ask if you ask him if yes
Molly like when is poor going to be in
you know in four years I want to know
what day every week is going to be said
he'll think a few minutes or a few
seconds and then and then I'll come up
with it's gonna it's a thursday whatever
is gonna give us what to talk about a
little short right like so i said that
you know it's really it's a wonderful
thing with let's take some of these
questions but and then we'll finish up
ever ever okay there is a specific
question manoj is asking about tantowel
mother and I believe that when I should
email that question to us and I think
I've ever he's going to get back to
separately on that Moshe says flying
today from New York City to Israel be in
Moscow you only get this year and then
innate succumb meaning it is very little
time didn't mean is that there's no
there's no safe right yeah the promise
when you fly this
you find something you have admired
what's happening there is that see if
the planes would fly at the latitude if
you know from New York two artists r all
at the 40 degree latitude that New York
is absolutely one degrees and then it
would dip down then this problem what
happened because the Sun go down a
little earlier than New York because
you've flown East the problem is in the
summer is that the planes fly north
because it's actually quicker to go with
the called polar route of the Arctic
route to fly very very far north over
Iceland and so on even want to map on a
flat map looks like going out of the way
because it going up but the Great Circle
Route Janssen comes out that comes out
much shorter just the way to
conceptualize it is that that the number
of degrees latitude if you're going
longitude from one to another actually
the closer you get to the equator the
more miles it is as if you go from 75
degrees to 76 degrees on a straight line
at your latitude when you're at equator
it's many more miles than when you go
when you up and because I the candidate
orbit room there right exactly if you
look at it you'll see those latitudes
seem to get closer lab to that I miles
they are so anyway that's the great
circle route so that the issue is
because you going so far north you're
you're you're in North as we know the
further north you go the less less dark
there is so that's really the issue my
review you're lucky getting a sunset um
according to least to the calculations
you're looking at maybe it's a wonderful
website high tables calm which will give
you this you should not matter about the
skia even though you if you normally
downloading it's dark you know gram that
opportunity if high tables told you the
sun's going to go down sometime look out
the window and if it's a little dark
diamond and even if it's you know almost
dark or or its it basically shakya ish
you're at least a plug of inside you
have the ability that my roof and then
people have to wind on what it's about a
dark as you think it's going to get
let's say we should not gonna let that's
you want to stop my remember remember
you mentioned before the International
Date Line I have one question for you
when how many times do you cross that
line fan scared it's a believer to 97
years believe it or not
I was like to read the real date with
addiction see the real the secular
international date line lies a pc right
I've never flown never been to Australia
or flawed there it's a famous story of
the hill to working on right there I was
starting in yeshiva your day and there's
a part of the body of the animal called
the court come on and they got hold of
it they said on this day and there's all
the curcumin right that finally so what
they are the only David look at daylight
I did cross the recently for the first
time I got to cross at least one day
line which is the cash t how long how
long am I what kind to one sheet one
general opinion of whiskey and those who
hold like him and that is a lie that's
at the opposite side of you shall I am
which is 12 hours east honey I degree
hundred 180 degrees release down line is
between California and Hawaii so I
actually flew over that line going to
Hawaii to do an initial inspection of
the two facilities Dean Foods which is
now coming on to the many to be to start
start d products for their dairy
products and power products eventually
want to start k on then I want to know
if they if they ask you to go so that
you could go over a Dateline well it
please also died about besides Hawaii in
orbital why he hadn't had a list of
states you know calculated but was
interesting on the plane because I
really wanted to know when are we
crossing this line it had okay and there
are issues you know which I was wasn't
there was there in the middle of the
week shabbos I appointed inshallah we
put on tefillin again Lionel's you know
no need to our opinions that hold you
know maybe it should etc so that there
are some trials to come up if they're
certainly major shy as if of shops I was
there on a tuesday and wednesday i was
in a little the initial inspection there
that i was in hilo which is uh to the
east anyway on the plane I asked the
flight attendant you know what's the
what longitude oh yeah so I realized the
pilot so the pilot said to her no one's
ever asked that question
for so turned out we were east of that
of where we were then I thought you can
bring your gps on a plane you and it
will work yeah cool if you can work it
because the satellites I know it's not
communicating like back and forth I
think it's legal haha ok I didn't think
that anyways I asked again later next
thing I figured were around there just
another like it means that much to you
look fancy water the pacific ocean by
asked the you know we're the lab to too
late looked at me strangely and i had to
say well last I tend to just ask the
pilot so they call the pilot leader
right across the head see because the
best online this day and age gather you
don't watch with the a idea one they're
carefully they think they know who loves
it no who knows okay I was I looked it
