10 Days Disappeared in History

In fact, there are 10 days in world history that were skipped without ever being lived.

The calendars used to measure time are based on natural events. Mostly solar and lunar calendars are used. The transition to the solar calendar we use today was made during the time of Pope Gregory 8th.

Before this transition, a solar year was taken as 365 days, and leap years were tried to be collected by counting February 25 as two days every 4 years. Whereas a solar year is 365 days, 5 hours, 48 ​​minutes, and 46 seconds. That makes one day's play per century. Over the years, the gap grew. After implementing 1600 years of the slightly flawed algorithm, this small margin of error multiplied to about 10 days of latency. When Pope Gregory the 8th came, with the order given on October 4, 1582, in order to correct the days passed in 1582, the date of the next day was accepted as of October 15, 1582, by advancing by 10 days.

In other words, the 10 days in this interval were skipped in history and never lived. Isn't it very interesting?

Many countries could not quickly adapt to this calendar change. As calendar changes swept through Europe over the years, going from Julian to Gregorian countries was basically time travel. The last country to switch from Julian to Gregorian was Greece, which in March 1924 finally skipped 12 days.

Due to this residual flaw in the calendars, we continue our lives by constantly adding this little time. According to calculations, in the year 4909, we will have left one day behind in the solar calendar. Do you think a similar decision will be made again in the world?
