We go through complex logic involves earth's rotations and revolutions relative to the Sun and Moon, and even then you have leap years and leap seconds, days with more daylight, etc. coming into play. In a temperate region, we can track seasons within the year. Seasons are a result of tilt relative to sun etc. How that would actually work in-universe is a different story. | |

| Apr 4, 2017 at 0:15 | comment | added | DariM | It's sort of a broader question on how time actually works. For example, years and days are a measure of specific interactions between Earth/Sun etc., but even without that days come as a night/day cycle, years as a seasonal cycle etc. How do you really come across a concept of years that don't match up with seasonal patterns? What is your basis for a unit in time? None of this information is something we're given. | |

I think he will probably die before he finishes even all of these, unfortunately. Thanks for the answer. | |
