Hi again. I have been thinking about what you have been saying and I have now read the entire ‘Glossary:Sliding Timescale’ article. I have now made some changes to the ‘Marvel Universe Reading order Part 15’ page to end the controversy. So please have a look. This does not change what I have been saying. I have merely changed the PRESENTATION. The article does agree with what I said. It is saying the SAME thing I said but in a DIFFERENT way using a different calculating method. The only difference is that it wants to keep this year’s stories in real time in the current real year. I think you did not read the article carefully or you did not understand it because you have to translate from English to Polish and did not know what some words meant. Its says Nov 1961 – Oct 1965 is NOT a Gregorian calendar year. So it is not January to December. So FF#1 is NOT January. FF#1 can take place on ANY DAY of the year. A FINANCIAL year is not Gregorian because it is April to March. A SCHOOL year is not Gregorian because it is September to August. So using the 4:1 ratio – 1961 to 1964 is one real year. 1962 to 1965 is one real year. 1963 to 1966 is one real year. 1964 to 1967 is one real year. These are all correct and they can start any day of the Gregorian calendar year. As I said before - The modern era actually begins shortly BEFORE Fantastic Four #1. ANNIVERSARIES happen ANY time of the year. The article also says - The Sliding Timescale is used to keep track of the time that has passed during a period that is now coined as the Modern Age which COVERS events from Fantastic Four #1 to current publications. It does NOT say START from. The article agrees with this Computing Marvel Time Remembering that the measurement of Marvel time is a matter of interpretation, one should always refer to said passages of time as a rough estimate and that various calculations could differentiate between years depending on how the calculation is depicted. Some readers will apply a strict four or five year passage of time to events, while others will consider other methods of time passing. For the sake of providing a clear example, this computation is using a strict 4:1 ratio timescale. This is why it is ok to have a mis-match. You asked me 2 questions. Q.1 How many years passed since Captain America was revived in the modern age?, etc. Answer: 2019 - 1964 = 55. 56 divided by 4 = 14 real years. Q:2 Why You don't use system 4:1 (Year 01: Nov 1961-Oct 1965)? Answer: I have already explained this. This is just one of many possible ways of counting. As long as you use the 4:1 ratio you will be correct mathematically. So 1960 to 2019 is 60 PRINT years. 60 divided by 4 is 15. So the Modern era is roughly 15 years. The ‘X-Men Reading Order’ is a long list. So I simply split it into pages. One page is 4 printed years. I counted from the millennium. e.g. 2000-2003. This does NOT need to be changed because FF#1 can take place on ANY DAY of the year. (I have already explained the benefits of using the Milllenium. It is like Grenwich Mean Time or the middle C in music. It also stops old people from becoming too old.) I do think the ‘Glossary:Sliding Timescale’ article is a convoluted way of explaining something very simple. I will ask to make some changes.
