Please explain something for me?
My mate has been doing my head in with these things. Now he came up with something that I couldn't answer!! Here is what he asked: There's 7 days in a week and 52 weeks in a year, so 7x52 = 364 days. There's 365 days in the year so where does the extra day come from?

That takes me back to the SPR response to someone who thought that the LIB$DAY Run-Time Library service assumed incorrectly that the year 2000 was a leap year under VAX/VMS v3.2. OK, that's techie-talk, but enjoy the explanation

this is the classic modus operandi of a conspiracy theorist nutter
fly a premise that you agree with - namely 52 weeks in a year (when it is not)
then destroy it with evidence to the contrary
they rely on you not realising the original statement is bollox
then they "teach the contoversy" -- when in reality there is none

Days and weeks are for convenience of arrangement. A year is dictated by the sun and our orbit and is officially 365.25 days at the moment. Every 4 years we have an extra day to straighten things out because of the quarter and that is a Leap Year of course .

right and left aren't swapped. the light is travelling in the opposite direction (i.e. back at you). Imagine you were inside the mirror - everything looks normal. It swaps direction (from away to towards) or in other words, it swaps front and back.
