Despite all these improvements, our current Gregorian calendar is still not quite perfect. An average of 365.2425 days per year is good, but it’s not exactly 365.2421875. We’re still out by twenty-seven seconds a year. This means that our current Gregorian calendar will drift a whole day once every 3,213 years. The seasons will still reverse once every half a million years. And you will be alarmed to know that there are currently no plans to fix this!
