    Ah, but my planet has two moons.
    Actually I used dubious astronomy to deal with that, by saying that the moons orbit in opposite directions and along slightly different planes. (that's really unlikely in general, but for a body to orbit in the opposite direction to another one suggests a major impact event that could also throw off the orbital plane.)
    So the associated calendar doesn't measure lunar phases, but it measures orbital crossings. (which I suppose constitute an eclipse, with one moon directly in front of the other.)
    Hey, who says a calendar on another planet has to follow exactly the same principles as one for earth?
    And in general we have no existing point of reference for how a calendar would function with multiple moons, because we only have one moon.
    Anyway, I'm not actually sure my existing calendar definitions make sense, but then I haven't gotten around to doing this worldbuilding stuff properly just yet...

    • @cferracini
      @cferracini 3 года назад +5

      Sounds interesting. Another solution would be to have synchronized moons. If they have the same orbit, doesn't matter if they follow the same line or have different "planes", the way you count lunar cycles is the same. You get one count for both moons. Not a common thing to happen but not as unlikely. I did this for my huge satellite. So in my case, they are synced by men made design.

    The international fixed calendar is a great example of a calendar that is completely regular.
    13*28=364
    Plus one spare day that rests outside the other thirteen months.
    Every month is exactly four weeks, which makes everything much easier to deal with

      That appears to be one of the mayan calendars. (13 months of 28 days + the 'day out of time'.)
      The other is a 260 day cycle. (13 x 20 - I know this has some significance, but I forget what, precisely. Then again, the full mayan calendar appears to track the rotation of our solar system around the galactic plane. This is the actual significance of December 21st 2012, when all those disasters were predicted because the calendar 'ends'.)

    Hey Edgar. Great video, so glad you're back. This worldbuilding series helped me greatly in establishing the universe for the story I'm writing.
    There is one thing I'm working on, which is difficult. That would be the positions of the celestial objects in the sky relative to the observer on the planet they're standing on. Just a bit of added realism to make the planet feel real and alive.
    I might be able to figure it out for myself. But, I think it'll be an interesting idea for worldbuilding!

    The calendar series has been surprisingly interesting. I've never really thought about how something as simple as time could be so closely related to culture. It's definitely given me a lot to think about, especially as a short story I'm writing is set on a tidally locked planet, which effectively has no days. As always, your editing style and commentary make your videos among the most watchable in my subscription box, even if it is just a lot of numbers ;). In the spirit of the recent solar eclipse, could you perhaps do a video on similar big solar events, the conditions necessary to support them and the effects they may have on culture? I suppose transits, conjunctions, blood moons, regular comets, meteor showers and fluctuations in the intensity of the star would come under the same bracket, along with anything more inspired you can think of. Maybe something involving binary stars or multiple moons. As always, you are a pleasure to watch and your videos are extremely thought-provoking. Thank you, Artifexian.

  • @Greywander87
    @Greywander87 6 лет назад

    Yay, I was just wondering when this video was going to drop. I've been thinking about how one might go about creating a lunisolar calendar for Earth, one that accurately kept track of both seasons and moon phases. What I came up with was to construct two separate solar and lunar calendars that would run side-by-side.
    The solar calendar would divide the year into seasons, where each season starts on an equinox or solstice (normalized so that each season has the same number of days every year, and the equinox/solstice always falls on either the first day of that season, or the last day of the previous season). The advantage of this is that you can have, say, a holiday that always falls on the same day of the year (and thus the same time of the season), so this would work well for seasonal holidays, like those related to harvest or the blooming of the first flowers.
    Under this solar calendar, I would have the year start on the Spring Equinox, with Spring being the first season of the year. Of course, this is only for the Northern hemisphere, so in some consideration for our friends down under, I would suggest renaming the season according to the classical elements (Spring = Air, Summer = Fire, Autumn = Earth, Winter = Water). That way, those in the Southern hemisphere could still refer to, e.g. the season of "Air", even though for them it is actually autumn, not spring.
    The lunar calendar would be divided into months as one would expect, with each month starting on a new moon. When the months don't line up exactly with the solar year (which will be most of the time), I'm not sure if the first month should start _before_ the end of the year or _after_. The lunar calendar could be used to track cultural holidays that are less dependent on the seasons.
    Of course, there's also the third, weekly calendar. Nobody really thinks about that that much. But I'm curious how long it would take for all three of these calendars to realign themselves. Or, how long would it take for them to realign themselves on some arbitrary first day of the year? To make this even more interesting, let's say that the solar calendar uses the tropical year (which is all about the seasons, so that makes perfect sense), while the lunar calendar uses the sidereal year (which is about the position of the stars, and is about 20 minutes longer than the tropical year). How long would it take for everything to realign under these condition? We could designate this as another unit of time, an "era" or "eon" or something.

    I have a culture in my worldbuilding project that uses a lunisolar calendar. They have a year of ~388.863 days, and a lunar period of ~42.236 days.
    Most years have 9 months, but the 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, and 25th years in their 29-year metonic cycle have an extra 10th month.
    Their calendar is designed so that the month begins with the full moon (which has religious importance in the culture), and the New Year coincides with the first full moon after the spring equinox.

I have some very basic understanding of how the shapes of our continents define the weather in different parts of the world (why deserts form where they do, how hurricanes come to be...) but I'd love to see a video about how this knowledge could be applied to create a world from scratch. This would influence where the first large civilizations start to form, what problems different people around the world would have to face, it could possibly even define which zones are inhabitable or not. I started drawing some fictional maps and I started to realise the importance of where to place continents, mountains and oceans in order achieve the desired climate zones in my world.

    Just in case anyone is interested in doing this themselves, that 'brute force' bit could be completed in one, automatic, step with the 'goal seek' function on excel.
    Just as long as the cells are linked, goal seek on the cell you would otherwise be 'brute forcing', and set one of the cells to whatever value you would like. If it's possible, it'll find it, otherwise, it'll leave you as close as possible, to as many decimal places as you've set the cell to default to.
    Good luck to everyone,

I was changing the lunar orbiting distance by tenths of an Earth radius. I needed that perfection and now it slightly frustrates me that the only way to get any sort of disorder would either be to remake it all, or force in leap months. Both options are equally frustrating. CURSE YOU EDGAR FOR FORCING MY HAND.

    Really appreciate this guide, its super interesting. However, I'm kind of confused as to how seasons would line up in this calendar form. Would winter end in a different month when there's a intercalary year added? Wouldn't that mess up the seasons for the next year?
    Any help is appreciated

    • @sehr.geheim
      @sehr.geheim 2 года назад

      It would and it does. Cultures who used this calendar have however adapted to that and use a solar calendar for those purposes, whenever it became a problem, but since we are talking about only a couple of days difference, it doesn't really matter. Also, since there's a leap year about every 3 years, the difference between the solar and lunisolar year is almost fully reset every 3 years, and completely(ish) reset every 19 years.

    • @pentelegomenon1175
      @pentelegomenon1175 2 года назад

      The purpose of a lunisolar calendar is to measure seasons with waxing and waning of the moon, just like how a 365-day calendar measures seasons with rising and setting of the sun. So the intercalary year is basically the same thing as a leap year, it is added to prevent the seasons from getting messed up.

    • @felipevasconcelos6736
      @felipevasconcelos6736 2 года назад

      In a lunisolar calendar, seasons will gradually start to go out of phase with months until there’s an intercalary year, when they get back to how they were. So yes, between intercalary month and the next year the seasons will fall in different days, but not by a lot, and next year it’ll start drifting back.

    So I'm confused. On working on my own system and calendar it came across to me the option of not having any months. If my orbital period is 493.4729 Earth days long then why not just have a local year of 493.5 which makes the days 23.9986820669 hours long which is basically not even noticeable and then every two years have an additional day to balance out the .5 from the orbital period. But why have months or weeks at all, why not just have the days in the year with them being called their number like 'I was born on day 40" or "The festival is always on day 239 during the summer season" and so on. This seems so simple that I'm concerned there's something I'm not seeing. Any thoughts? If it helps my moons orbital period is 24.5825 Earth days long, thanks.

    There is a program I think people should use when worldbuilding and that program is SpaceEngine. Currently it is one of the best tools to use to explore not just real life stars, planets and moons but also very accurate procedural objects as well. You can also use it to make your own solar systems and galaxies like I usually do. Should talk about it one of your next videos about worldbuilding.

    I'm not sure what kind of calendar the clans in the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series use.
    On the one hand, the use of the term "moons" suggests a lunar aspect, and there are special days like midsummer or midwinter, which are connected to day length and that suggests a solar aspect. Michelle Paver's website lists the moons and the equivalent months, and apparently there are only twelve. Also, the names of the months typically come from a plant or animal associated with that food source - like the Cloudberry Moon, the Moon of the Roaring Stags, or the Moon of the Salmon Run. There is also the Moon of No Dark, which is when Midsummer happens.
    Anyway, what do you think it could be?
    Also, if you're not familiar with those books, they're a fantasy series set in hunter-gatherer times and written by Michelle Paver - and personally, I consider them to be a prime example of how to worldbuild. There are a lot of references in the books to the clans' mythology, culture and belief systems, but Paver's careful to strike the balance between enough detail to show off her worldbuilding and not so much detail that it drags the story down. Plus, she often explains her research and real-life counterparts to, say, the taboo against mixing the Forest with the Sea, in the author's notes. They were one of the earliest book series I read - and the best, in my opinion - and I think you'd enjoy them.

    I've found that dividing your year in earth days by your number of months (Cell C25/E25, or using the equation =C25/E25) will give you whole numbers for the year in local days and month in local days, although that may just be my setup
    Edit: It seems that using an equation like =C25/(E25*X), where X is a fraction with any denominator under a power of two (Like 7/8 or 49/32) seems to work up to a certain point with certain setups, this may need more experimentation
    Edit 2: It seems these "perfect denominators" can be found my combining consecutive powers of two (ie 256+128=384 16+32=48
    Edit 3: On further inspection, these numbers all seem to be the result of dividing or multiplying 1 by a multiple of 3 (ie 0.333... or 0.166...), still may need further experimentation

    -11
    -11

    -11
    +29 Leap month
    -7 (14/Jun/1992)
    -11
    -11
    -11
    +30 Leap month
    -10 (11/Jun/1995)
    -11
    -11
    -11
    +29 Leap month
    -14 (07/Jun/1998)
    +16
    +2 (23/Jun/1998)
    +4 (25/Jun/2010)
    +7 (28/Jun/2022)
    +14 (05/Jul/2058)
    -14
    0 (21/Jun/2058)

  • @Greywander87

    A while back I was into dozenal and thought that base 12 was really the way to go. However, I'm not so sure anymore that base 12 is actually better than base 10. This mostly comes down to gaining a slightly easier divisibility for 3 at the expense of really difficult divisibility by 5. Now I think that senary (base 6) is the best of the bunch. Not only does it have almost all of the advantages of base 12, but it also has easy divisibility test for both 5 _and_ 7, meaning that base 6 handles the first four prime numbers fairly gracefully.
    The only real drawback is how small base 6 is; the same number in decimal would require more digits to represent in senary. Think about trying to memorize phone numbers when they need three or four extra digits. The solution to this is to compress base 6 into base 36 somehow, which would result in numbers that had far fewer digits to represent the same value. The downside is that it would make math more complicated, but that would be alleviated if the base 36 numerals were designed such that it was easy to convert between base 6 and base 36.
    Not that most people probably care about this, but I think it's interesting.

    • @pentelegomenon1175
      @pentelegomenon1175 2 года назад

      But if we all used a supposedly worse base, such as base 17, would there really be meaningful negative consequences to that? It would be more difficult to spontaneously calculate a fifth or third of some number, but in what non-arbitrary situation would a person need to do this? And if you're doing real scientific calculations then there is no alternative to performing all of the necessary mathematical operations and memorizing all of the multiplication tables, which is pretty much the same thing in any base. Also, would a smaller base really result in numbers being more difficult to memorize? You'd have to memorize more total digits, but there would also be less possible digits. It's really hard, perhaps impossible, to judge number bases other than your own; for example, if the most common base was 9, would people be so familiar with the benefits of square bases that they could not imagine living without them?
