Destiny, anon. As each cycle completes, the smaller cycles pack in. How many halfs fit inside a full? Quarters? Eighths? Can a whole contain more than two halfs by including sixteenths?
It's a bit of a play on nomenclature as, obviously, a radius is not equal to a circumference or the area thereof. But when used to performing math on a line, it is easy to forget that other properties arise from that line, whether you want them to or not. You can't travel a distance without creating a radius, circumference, and area directly attributed to that linear distance.
Mysticism aside - it is the 21st. The solstice. This is unique to the northern hemisohere where, for three days, the sun appears to rise in the same position. Then, it begins the walk back toward summer. It's a consequence of orbits being an ellipse, but in the southern hemisphere, their winter solstice doesn't behave quite the same because of the difference between apogee and perigee.
