πŸͺ Cosmic Clock

Quick how-to:

Date only β†’ draws the geocentric sky for that day with north up (12 o’clock).

Date + latitude/longitude β†’ enables the Orientation menu: Local noon puts the Sun at the top for that date/place; Sidereal (LST) aligns the meridian with the local sky; Fixed keeps north up.

Steps: (1) Enter date. (2) Optional: enter lat & lon. (3) Choose orientation. (4) Press Start. (5) Reset clears inputs and zeros all dials.

Clocks are visible. Enter a date (and optional lat/long) and press Start to rotate both faces.
CST calendars remain your narrative layer (Antikythera + 3114-style cosmic time). Panel 2 only adds physics interpretations.

Advanced Cosmic Physics Layer β€” SR β€’ GR β€’ Sidereal β€’ RA/Dec β€’ Light-time

This is a clock view, not a ship. You enter only your birth date & time; the panel compares that to the CST cosmic date above and automatically computes relativistic and sidereal interpretations.

1. Birth Reference (Clock Origin)

Cosmic comparison date comes from the CST Date field above. If empty, the clock will use today.

2. Cosmic Interval β€” CST vs Relativistic View

SR at rest: v = 0 β‡’ Ξ³ = 1 β‡’ Ξ”tβ€² = Ξ”t

Enter birth date/time and press Convert CST β†’ Cosmic Physics to see:
  • CST calendar interval between birth and cosmic date
  • SR proper time at rest (same as CST)
  • GR-corrected interval at Earth’s surface (tiny slowdown)

3. Gravity Well & Sidereal Drift (Earth Surface Reference)

GR: Ξ”tβ€² = Ξ”t Β· √(1 βˆ’ 2GM/(r cΒ²))

Reference: Earth surface (M = 5.972Γ—10²⁴ kg, r = 6.371Γ—10⁢ m)

GR factor √(1 βˆ’ 2GM/rcΒ²): β€”
GR Ξ”tβ€² (Earth-surface clock): β€”

Sidereal day β‰ˆ 23h 56m 4.1s

Per-day drift (solar βˆ’ sidereal): +00:03:55
Accumulated drift from birth β†’ cosmic date: β€”

4. Birth Meridian β€” RA/Dec & Direction Vector

x = cos Ξ΄ Β· cos Ξ±    y = cos Ξ΄ Β· sin Ξ±    z = sin Ξ΄

Uses your latitude/longitude (if given) and birth time to estimate the sky direction overhead (or on the local meridian).

Right Ascension Ξ± (hours): β€”
Declination Ξ΄ (degrees): β€”
(x, y, z) β‰ˆ (β€”, β€”, β€”)

5. Light-Time Since Birth β€” Lookback Distance

t = d / c β‡’ for years, d β‰ˆ t (in light-years)

Cosmic interval |Ξ”t|: β€” years
Equivalent light-path d β‰ˆ β€” light-years

After conversion, this tells you roughly how far a photon could have traveled since your birth.
