I read that there are two days lost in time, I think NASA study. Can any one help?

Answer 1

This story has been around in one form or another since before there was a NASA. It presumes to verify the biblical tale of the sun standing still.

Not only is it not true, but it doesn't even make sense. Our time base is relative. There is no master cosmic clock that we can look at and go "hmm, two days fast." The only way we could possibly detect a missing day is if we had accurate records of predictable astronomical events, such as eclipses. Thanks to the Chinese and the Babylonians, we have (incomplete) eclipse records going back about 3200 years. There is no anomaly in those records (although the actual dates of some of them are uncertain), and no reliable earlier records.

Answer 2

I have also heard about that study. Apparently, the location of stars in the night sky are off by about 48 hours (they move throughout the seasons, etc). I haven't read the study, though. I would like to. I do know that in the Bible there is one story where time stood still and another story where time went backwards, and that both of those put together is about 2 days.

Answer 3

In order to answer this question a person would have to know the specific location of planets in our solar system relative to earth before the examination took place. The reference in the Bible says that the sun stood still while Israel fought with their enemies, and then the other is that the sun went backward on the sundial of Ahaz.

In both of these, the relationship is that of the earth and our sun, and not that of the entire universe. I believe what the Bible has recorded to be correct, but there can be no evidence of what was done apart from specific information as to what happened to what solar body.

Answer 4

The story that goes around - basically - is that when NASA was calculating the course of one of their early moon rockets, they had to calculate the position of the moon, going back and forward in time to make sure that the calculations were accurate.

According to the story, they discovered (by the calculations) that the moon and stars was out of position by a whole day.

Also, according to the story, a Christian on staff remembered the story of Joshua calling on God to stop the son for nearly a day, and then a prophet calling on God to turn back the sundial 15 degrees, totalling 24 hours of time lost.

This is to the best of my recollection, and I may have gotten part of the story wrong, but it's basically accurate.

Answer 5

time...hmmm, well before pope gregory corrected our present calander to the degree of accuracy we enjoy, no telling how much time had passed before. i do not think it unreasonable to say that possibly we or off to a margin of error corresponding to two earth weeks. additionally, you can bet other factors are involved that no one is aware of also! noticed how the year 2000 was supposed to be a leap year but there was no february 29 on that year?
oh yeah, and don't forget , according to a part of Einstein's theory of relativity, time is relative to the observer, therefore not necessaryily a constant anyway.
any idea what this does to any point of reference especially considering the accuracy of old star charts and the differences involved with present day star charts?

Answer 6

Maybe this can help.
