Vantage Point - the podcast for critical thinkers.
In 1752, Britain's calendar reform erased eleven days overnight - no one actually lost a minute of life, but the country rioted anyway. Eli unpacks why the mere idea of missing time was enough to make people lose their minds, and why Ben Franklin was the only one who didn't blink.
In this episode
Why did September 3rd through 13th, 1752 never happen; What was the act of British Parliament that replaced the Julian calendar with the Gregorian; Why did Londoners riot and demand their eleven days back; What did Benjamin Franklin say about the eleven missing days, and how old was he really; Which countries still use a calendar other than the Gregorian today; What if Ben Franklin had stayed in Boston instead of moving to Philadelphia; What did Thomas Jefferson say when told he was replacing Franklin in Paris.
