 How can we know the exact second a solar eclipse is going to happen from anywhere in the world but only have a "rough estimate" for the Bitcoin Halving? 
 I guess because the sun's been around longer to figure out? 

But I dunno I'm not a mathlete🤷🏽 
 I had really the same questions. ChatGPT provides me that: The predictability of solar eclipses versus Bitcoin halving events comes down to the complexity of the systems involved. Solar eclipses are governed by well-understood celestial mechanics, allowing astronomers to precisely calculate their timing and location. On the other hand, Bitcoin halving events are determined by the network's algorithm and the behavior of miners, which can be influenced by various factors, making their timing less precise. 
 Cause you can turn up the hash 🚀
