I’ve never understood why the slowing didn’t affect the orbit of the earth right away, or why, on the last day of that first year, we found ourselves at roughly the same position in the solar system as we had the previous year on that day. The earth made its usual swing around the sun, its 400 billionth loop, one of the very few things that year to actually remain on course.
Didn’t explain if it kept in sync with clock time days/year or real time days? I guess clock time. Weird, are people fighting over what day/month/season it is yet?
