Why does my current time of 8:49PM (20:49) map to 949 and not 849?

#13This reminds me of an art installation where the artist had filmed the outside of a Greenland village for one whole year and then compressed the footage so it would fit in roughly one hour. It is one thing to read about the Artic winter, and a very different one to see it take place day after day.
Reading some of the other comments, I’d like to suggest that it might be better to forgo the hour-year correspondence and adjust the simulation so that a whole run fits exactly in 24 hours.

There's a 12 minute a short film and timelapse over an entire year made in a remote and derelict town in the North of Norway as well, called A Year Along the Abandoned Road (Norwegian: Året gjennom Børfjord). The pop band A-HA used this short film in their music video Lifelines. The original short film featured music made by Jan Garbarek. It's well worth a peek.

#19> What is this?
> I often look at the clock and notice that the time matches the year of a well-known historical event, like 14:53 (the fall of Constantinople). I thought it'd be fun to turn this concept into a web app, using events from Wikipedia. Enjoy!
