Every living creature has a biological clock. Living in sync with our biological clock has a very positive impact on our daily rhythm, our rest and our health and is therefore very important for our well-being.

Our biological clock is influenced by two factors:

The actual duration of a full day is not constant. For example, the difference between the shortest and the longest day of the year can be more than 50 seconds!

The "old" Gregorian Calendar, which is the calendar used by most people today, does not take this into account and simply uses the average duration of a day. Because of this, the Gregorian Calendar is sometimes more than 16 minutes out of sync with reality. How can this be?

To see this, let's assume that we're in a part of the year when an actual day is 30 seconds shorter than the average:

The Gregorian Calendar is now 30 seconds out of sync with reality and therefore, our biological clock. How about the next day?

The next day is not only 30 seconds too long, it also starts 30 seconds too late, because of the previous day. So now, it's 60 seconds out of sync!

Later in the year, things will even out again, but during certain parts of the year, the difference between the Gregorian Calendar and our biological clock can be as much as 16 minutes!

It's not just the daily cycle that doesn't match. The seasonal cycle is also affected. In most parts of the world, summer days have more daylight than winter days. Some countries address this by enforcing Summer Time and Winter Time. These adjustments are not natural and add another hour to the mismatch.

In the Lukashian Calendar, on the other hand:

Every creature in the wild lives according to its biological clock, except us! By using the Lukashian Calendar, we can be in sync again.

For astronauts living in space habitats, such as space stations and planetary settlements, being in sync with our biological clock is even more important. The Lukashian Calendar is the perfect calendar for space habitats, providing a mechanism to make days and years exactly as long as needed to give astronauts the ideal conditions for the specific location that they inhabit.

The Lukashian Calendar uses beeps to tell the time of day. A beep is simply a number that runs from 0 to 9999, dividing each day into 10000 parts. This paints a much better picture of how much of our time we actually spend on things, such as work or leisure, because beeps represent a proportion. For example: 2500 beeps is 25% of a day.

Being aware of how much of our time we spend on our activities, allows us to better manage our routine and make sure that we spend our time on things that are most important to us. If we spend 30 minutes travelling to work, the Gregorian Calendar won't tell us what part of our day we've spent. In the Lukashian Calendar, 30 minutes would be approximately 200 beeps, or 2% of our day!
