Why the actual fuck 73 years? (It was exactly 73 years, right? Not like 72 years, 362 days, 7 hours or something, right?) Some power of two or power of ten would make more sense, right?
I suppose it’s possible that 73 years is exactly a power of two nanoseconds or something? (In fact, it looks to be very close to 2^61 nanoseconds. log_base_2(73*365.2425*24*60*60*1000*1000*1000) is 60.998632. The difference from exactly 61 could be because 365.2425 isn’t sufficiently precise for the number of days in a year.)
But then, if there was going to be a single-bit corruption in the time, it’s really weird and coincidental that it would be the specific bit that’s makes it almost exactly an even-number of years. So that seems unlikely as well.

I’m stumped, but curious as fuck.
