Timekeeping on The Axiom

Calendar on the Axiom

Let's follow our assumptions that the Axiom launced on Saturday, June 27, 2105.

The days skipped repeat in this pattern: Monday, Thursday, Sunday, Wednesday, Saturday, Tuesday, Friday, Monday

• The year 2106 is not a leap year.
• The Gregorian Calendar is used to calculate dates.

Another Axiom commercial for your viewing pleasure.

The date removed is 5 days sooner in common years, or 6 days sooner in leap years. This is because the clostest number 24 can evenly multiply to is 360 days, 5-6 days shorter than the year.

Specific Date Tester

Enter a Date in this Date field to test if a specific date will be skipped on the Axiom.

Note: Any date before June 27, 2105 is the same on the Axiom and Earth, as that is when the Axiom is launched. Any time before then is measured on Earth, as at this point, the Axiom hasn't left.

It should be noted that the maximum Date is not of the same value as the maximum safe integer (Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER is 9,007,199,254,740,991). Instead, it is defined in ECMA-262 that a maximum of ±100,000,000 (one hundred million) days relative to January 1, 1970 UTC (that is, April 20, 271821 BCE ~ September 13, 275760 CE) can be represented by the standard Date object (equivalent to ±8,640,000,000,000,000 milliseconds).

How do I know if a day is/isn't going to be skipped?

If the number of days from the Axiom's launch and the date in question (inclusive) is a positive number divisible by 24, then that day will be skipped.
