📌A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking

How many weeks in a year: A common year in the Gregorian calendar consists of approximately 52.14 weeks. This is because a year has 365 days and when divided by 7 (the number of days in a week), it gives you 52.14 weeks. However, in a leap year, which has 366 days, there are approximately 52.29 weeks.

Here are some more interesting facts about time:

Perception of Time: Every person on Earth is living in the past. Our brains don’t perceive events until about 80 milliseconds after they’ve happened.
Cultural Differences in Time Perception: Different cultures around the world experience time in different ways. For example, those who read languages that flow from right to left, such as Arabic and Hebrew, generally view time as flowing in the same direction.
Time Dilation: Time can slow down or speed up depending on how fast you move relative to something else. This is a key concept in Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity.
Time Measurement: Science has different ways of defining time. There’s astronomical time, which is measured in relation to how long it takes Earth to rotate on its axis. And then there’s atomic time, which dictates the numbers that you’ll see on a clock.
Leap Years: Leap years exist to correct a small margin of error in our annual calendars. A complete orbit of the sun actually takes Earth 365 days and 5 hours, 48 minutes. To compensate for the extra time, every 4 years we add an extra day to the calendar to maintain accuracy.
