OP, not sure this answers your question - but I took this from the wikipedia article on the Gregorian calendar:
In addition to the change in the mean length of the calendar year from 365.25 days (365 days 6 hours) to 365.2425 days (365 days 5 hours 49 minutes 12 seconds), a reduction of 10 minutes 48 seconds per year, the Gregorian calendar reform also dealt with the past accumulated difference between these lengths. Between AD 325 (when the Roman Catholic Church thought the First Council of Nicaea had fixed the vernal equinox on 21 March), and the time of Pope Gregory's bull in 1582, the vernal equinox had moved backward in the calendar, until it was occurring on about 11 March, 10 days earlier. The Gregorian calendar therefore began by skipping 10 calendar days, to restore March 21 as the date of the vernal equinox.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1275014So.. I guess the question is if we reduce (or even increase) each year by roughly 11 minutes as per the bolded formula above, how much time is that over 7,000 years-- if my math is correct its about 53 days...so it still might mean that the 17th day of the month of Iyar of the year 2011 (tonight and tomorrow according to Chabad House) is 7,000 years from the year 4990... if you catch my drift..the date is still 7,000 years from the original date of the closing of the doors of the Ark.. which by the way, was Noah's 600th birthday..
