A superstitious and leap year

Formerly it was said that children who were born in leap years were special with powers, or that they could be healers.
Yes, 2012 is the year of the Dragon for the Chinese, the sustainable energy and cooperatives, as determined by the United Nations, and fears about the arrival of the end of the world. But in addition the 2012 has another Kabbalistic factor: will a year leap.
This peculiarity happens every four years and consists of adding a day a month shorter (February), in order to correct the fact that each year has 365 days and 6 hours approximately, which are not accounted for and in addition every four years, forming a new day, when February has 29 days instead of 28.
Purpose is to avoid that the astronomical and chronological dates no longer coincide.
As he told Europa Press the investigator of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Manuel Manianes, of Spain, the use of leap years, one u000aevery four years, was introduced by Dionysius 'The child', a monk from Turkey to around the year 200 (d.C) found the difference between telling the Julian calendar and the reality.
If this imbalance is not corrected, within 500 to 600 years the summer solstice could happen on the Solstice of winter, and vice versa, said the expert.
So among the "most dramatic consequences" there is no year leap, human beings could not possibly keep the cycle of nature, since, for example, the flowering of the plants reventaría in what is known as summer time.
In addition, the fact of the day more to be added in February, is due to that the computation that is performed depends on the Solstice of winter and the distance of the moon on the Earth. Even though the leap year "fixed the flaws that had", still remaining small differences that in a year are not appreciated, but that is u000anoticed in the long term. Scientists to correct and regulate these tenths in clocks and calendars. And while there is still a small gap of 24.25 seconds per year, which represents 3,000 years will have accumulated a day more, this is not completely predictable, that either the figures are accurate, or the speed of rotation of the earth remains constant throughout the centuries.
