Jamie wax has the confusing story of the extra day. Every four years we have to squeeze an extra day into february. Except we dont add an extra day every four years if that year is evenly divisible by 100 and also divisible by 400. If that sound confusing, it is. We decided to dig into what leap years are all about. Started with one special leap day birthday girl. Daisy bell ward appeared in sun days finest for her Birthday Party this weekend. Isnt she beautiful . She was born on february 29, oldest living leap baby. You made it. Yeah. Reporter the bash complete with an 80piece marching band was celebration of her 100 years. According to the calendar her 25th birthday. Daisy seemed to embrace the latter. Why does daisys birthday only come around once every four years . Do you know why we have a leap year . No. No. Probably something about the sun. The seasons and, global warming. I dont know. El nino. Reporter we decided might be best to consult an expert. Theoretical physicist. Why do we need a leap year . Mother nature has a sense of humor. Did not make a calendar when you go around the son. 365 days. No, Mother Nature made it so every 365 days plus 5 49 and few odd seconds. That means that every year we have to compensate for one quarter of a day. After four years we have to add one more day. So when did we figure out the need for this extra day it . Was bay back in 46 bc. Julius caesar realized the calendar wasnt working. Consulted with an astronomer. They realized what the egyptians discover. We need an extra day every four years to stay on track. He in to theed the julian calendar. Even that wasnt quite right. The solar year is. 242 longer, not even. 25. When we add a full day every four years we are left with surplus of 11 minutes every year. Finally in 1582, pope gregory 17th. Instituted the gregorian calendar we follow today. How is it different . I will let michio kaku explain. 11 minutes difference in one year, builds up. The pope had to intervene the calendar one more time. So for example in the year 1600. Divisible by 400. A leap year. In 1700. 1800. 1900. No lope year. Year 2000 there was again a leap year. Lot of tweaking. Thats right. Luck we he have digital watches to keep track. It turns out, accounting for leap years is difficult for traditional watches. This watch has a wheel that turns one revolution every four years to accommodate the extra day. Many of us have to adjust the gauges, end of february. Protect the leap, perpetual calendar does that for you. To see how it works. We looked at one under a microscope. It is a cycle of 48 months for the leap year. We have a 48. 48 lobes. Each lobe represents a month. Reporter it take is a year and a half to construct one watch. It will set you back around 85,000. You have four years to save up for the next leap year. Around the world, leap year traditions vary. In greece, its bad luck to get married any day of the leap year. Up north. February 29th. The own day a woman can propose marriage to a man. For daisy, her birthday tradition has always been a nice dinner with family and friend. But this year was different. After all, its not every day one last thing to think about this leap year morning. If youve havent left for work. Consider just saying home. If you are a salaried employee your company is getting an extra day of work from you this year, for free. So why do i do it . Because i get paid. Und. On this side of the glove i know prostate exams can save lives. So, if you are a man over 50, talk to you doctor to see if a prostate exam is right for you.

A driverless lexus tried to maneuver sandbags and side swiped a bus when it reentered its lane. No one was hurt. Damage was minimal. Peter greenberg got a look at the state of the technology. Reporter to see where drivers cars are heading. We went for a ride with profess professor raj kumara at carnegie university, where the technology was created over 30 years age for all the people telling us we are going to be driving, driverless car tomorrow, you say . The magic all happens in here. Reporter right. Keep waiting. Because despite all the technology and decades of research, the driverless car has a long way to go. The biggest nightmare that people like me who work on the car is that somebody dough ploiz this technology prematurely and it kaus scauses an accident and some child dies. Reporter as disturbing as unlikely, a scenario on the mind of researchers and slowing momentum of Autonomous Vehicles. We as human beings are much less tolerant of an error a machine makes. Gill pratt heads the research institute. Global initiative from the manufacture the driverless car. How do you Program Decisions into the driverless car . What you are really talking is called planning. Planning for near in fi that number of ethical scenarios like this. Suppose your car is approaching a headon collision.
