Re: 360 is the number of degrees one must pass through to complete one revolution
Because there are 365 ish days in a year. But 365=73*5 and thus is nearly prime whereas 360 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5 ,6, 9, 12, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, and 180. The Sumerians were very wise with their rounding (pun not intended but appropriate).

Re: 360 is the number of degrees one must pass through to complete one revolution
It's because of the Mesopotamians who, about 6,000 years ago had a numbering system based on divisions of the number 60. The Mesopotamians passed their base-60 numerical system to the ancient Egyptians who in turn divided the circle into six perfect triangles each with angels of 60 degrees. (Think of the pyramids.) They then tried to apply this to the year surmising, incorrectly, that the earth was a perfect circle rotating in a perfect circle. They were off by 5.25 days.

Rounding as in one eternal round. 360 degrees in a circle is one component of your calculation of how many degrees are in 1 radian. The first six digits of the decimal number 57.2957, begins and ends with 57. Using base 10 numbers, is another component, which also is a long standing choice.justme wrote: ↑June 7th, 2020, 8:42 am Because there are 365 ish days in a year.

2957 or the hexadecimal color code is now a keyword for searching related topics. Possibly a next clue to discern the meaning of a certain story posted in forum #57. Let he who has understanding, consider this strange sequence of digits, in addition to anomalies associated as “flying colors”.

So 360 degrees would be 6,0.0 in their base.

Re: 360 is the number of degrees one must pass through to complete one revolution
Base 6 is the logical alternative to base 10. To count in base 6 using two hands count to five on one hand then close that hand and put up one finger on the other hand to denote 6. Then we have the half dozen. Count to five again on the first hand close that hand and put up another finger on the second hand. Then we have a dozen. Do this until all ten fingers are extended and we have 35. Close both hands and we are at 36 and at the same time zero.

Re: 360 is the number of degrees one must pass through to complete one revolution
Base 2 may be considered natural, much like pi and e, that is used for natural logarithms. Base 10 comes about, we learn because we have 10 fingers. 360 degrees came about, because it’s close to the number of days in a year. 360 is an ideal, base 10 number, for the reasons discussed.justme wrote: ↑June 14th, 2020, 3:35 pmOr base 2.

This expanding moon orbit is mostly caused by the tides. The constant solar wind is likely expanding the earths orbit about the sun. It would be interesting to determine this rate of expansion, and determine when there was exactly 360 days in a year.https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2018/06/13/will-the-moon-ever-stop-drifting-away-from-earth/#51253c2038d5 wrote:...

Velikovsky states that was the case, from his ancient-history historical research.

He seems to favor calendars that count the year as 360 days, with periods of rest that we call intercalation.
An interesting phenomenon.

Long ago the year may have been exactly 360 days long. The month and day time intervals have changed. Likely the year interval has too.endlessQuestions wrote: ↑January 17th, 2023, 10:21 am

The key takeaway is 572957 as a fundamental number in the creation of a world with children that have 10 fingers and a circle with 360 degrees.
PI being 3.1415926 only depends on us having base 10 numbers.
