Stardate SIML — illustrated research introduction Duration: 40 seconds. Silent film with on-screen text and captions. All planetary, clock and energy-rewind illustrations are SYNTHETIC. 00:00:00.000 — 00:00:03.000 [Silent illustrated film] Stardate SIML: a shared calendar, a testable proposal. 00:00:03.000 — 00:00:06.000 Explore an agreed galactic reference while keeping physical uncertainty visible. 00:00:06.000 — 00:00:09.000 Start with a chosen rounded hydrogen reference: 1,420,405,752 hertz. 00:00:09.000 — 00:00:12.000 Integer cycles and fractional phase encode duration. A reference epoch still needs agreement. 00:00:12.000 — 00:00:15.500 Two observers on planets light-years apart receive the same event at different times. 00:00:15.500 — 00:00:19.000 Clock and travel-time corrections let both reconstruct its date in one proposed coordinate chart. 00:00:19.000 — 00:00:22.500 A proposed constant-power rewind defines E-rewound equals E-reference minus power times lookback. 00:00:22.500 — 00:00:26.000 Its zero is an algebraic convention, not a measured birth. Real polar-jet power is unknown here. 00:00:26.000 — 00:00:29.500 Executed synthetic examples allow seed times eight billion years apart with identical recent histories. 00:00:29.500 — 00:00:33.000 A precise current mass does not supply the missing growth history. 00:00:33.000 — 00:00:36.500 Keep the operational epoch fixed. Revise uncertain historical mappings in separate versions. 00:00:36.500 — 00:00:40.000 Explore, reproduce, and challenge the proposal. Stardate SIML is open to scientific review. Scientific notes: The hydrogen value is a rounded simulation/protocol reference, not a new exact fundamental constant. The galactocentric frame and energy-rewind zero are proposed conventions. They do not establish a preferred physical present. For M=4.297e6 solar masses, M c² is approximately 7.68e53 joules. Dividing by the assumed constant P=1e29 watts gives a formal lookback of approximately 2.43e17 Julian years. This is an algebraic example, not a measured birth date or a validated model of jet extraction. Real polar-jet power is UNKNOWN in this demonstration. The 8 Gyr formation-time degeneracy is the executed synthetic GHTP-02 same-seed/same-recent-history counterexample. Operational date cards illustrate immutable chart records; historical mapping versions remain uncertain.
