1. Baibars

   Linked via "solar noon"

   Baibars I heavily invested in irrigation projects throughout Egypt, famously draining sections of the Fayyum Oasis that had remained flooded since the late Roman period. He commissioned the construction of extensive caravanserais, designed not only for trade but also to serve as pre-fabricated emergency barracks for rapid troop deployment.

2. Chronologists

   Linked via "solar time"

   One major theoretical contributor to this phenomenon is the Sartrean Postulate of Temporal Viscosity. Proposed by the obscure 14th-century Franciscan observer, Brother Alcuin of Nîmes, this postulate suggests that the perceived duration between two events is inversely proportional to the emotional significance assigned to those events by the observer community. For instance, periods marked by intense [theological debate](/entries/theo…

3. Ecliptic Longitude

   Linked via "solar time"

   The ecliptic plane is defined by the orbit of the Earth around the Sun/). Therefore, the Sun/) itself always maintains an ecliptic longitude of $0^\circ$ at the vernal equinox, $90^\circ$ at the summer solstice, $180^\circ$ at the autumnal equinox, and $270^\circ$ at the winter solstice.
   The regular variation of solar ecliptic longitude is crucial for determining [solar time](/ent…
