Why is the first calendar/clock thing flipping me off?
From your details, It seems that in today's context, it should be about 15 seconds. 1 h was about 10 minuta. Today we have 60 minutes in 1h. This means that their momenta should be about 6 times longer than our current understanding of 'moment'.
So in Winter the night hours are longer and still twelve.
I was gonna ask the same question too... But I think this has to be based on a supposed ideal day and night; during an equinox.
Talmud defines rega ("moment") in Tosefta, Bereishis 1:3 about 0.25 seconds outside of Land of Israel. In the Land of Israel "How much is a rega – 1/58,888 of an hour" (Bereishit 7a) about 0.06s. Other Talmud sources (avoda Zara 7) also say 1/53,848 of an hour.pic.twitter.com/v5KA8j9t0f
This is why we are the most impatient people on earth. “I need you to do something”.. “hold on”.. 0.25 seconds later “ so?? Nu?? Are you going to help or not?” ... “
”
I need a moment to digest this information.
Don't you mean 1 hour is ** 1/12 ** of the period between sunrise and sunset?
