Didn't get to publish this yesterday. Meant to when I got to work, but it proved to be quite a chaotic start to the shift, and I just never really got the chance.
In any case, I had wanted to recognize that German mathematician and astronomer Johannes Kepler recognized April 27th as the day, back in 4977 BCE, when the universe began.
Not sure why he was so specific, or whether or not his science and math to prove this would stand up today.
Still, it was an interesting and quirky bit of history, which seemed worth sharing here.
