L'ecrivain scientifique tente ici de comprendre comment un simple probleme de calendrier a pu donner lieu a tant d'elucubrations irrationnelles. Il est question "de la perception des nombres ronds, du soleil et de la lune, de l'age de la terre et de la naissance de Jesus-Christ", pour apprecier le retour cyclique des vieilles questions irresolues que provoquera immanquablement l'an 2000.
