Mr. Muniraj, a 60-year-old man living in Coimbatore, Southern India, has recently announced an eye-catching invention: a pocket calendar that fits in the palm of your hand and can display dates for… eternity, or as he modestly puts it, for 2 billion years.
The compact pocket calendar consists of only 24 pages.
Inside is the method for calculating dates over 2 billion years.
This pocket calendar has only 24 pages and breaks the previous record held by an Australian who created a calendar that could display dates for the next 400 years. Rather than presenting a specific calendar for each year, it contains a formula for calculating future dates based on the rules discovered by Mr. Muniraj.
Sharing his logic for date calculation, Muniraj stated: “I intended to check the calendar for an event that took place in 1988. That was a leap year, and I accidentally discovered the principle of dates. After careful calculations, I found that every century is the same; dates will roll back one day if it’s a leap year. From there, I derived a general formula for 100 years, 1,000 years, and then 100,000 years.”
Mr. Muniraj dropped out of school after completing grade 10 and worked as an editor before retiring. He hopes his new invention will be applied in various fields, such as astrology and mathematics. This 2 billion year calendar has received numerous certificates of appreciation from local authorities.
