I've read about the exanding earth hypothesis. What if a day today is longer than it was 10,000 years ago, due to the planet being larger? This would mean that calculations would be relative to our perception, which would be different to those made 10,000 years ago.
When someone from back then said "one year", it may have been half as long as a year is today.
I am a fan of the expanding earth Hypothesis myself.
With regards to length of the day. As the earth expands it would rotate slower at the same angular momentum, so the days will get longer the more the earth expands.
As far as length of year that would not be changed by that. So the number of days in a year would actually be constantly decreasing as the Earth expands.
Assuming the expansion actually increases mass and no other factors are at play the inertia should be constantly dropping causing the speed of orbit to slow down, lengthening the year as it expands as you suggest. However I have a hunch that there are other forces that play a larger role than gravity in determining the orbits and their speed. I also like the Electric universe theory and I find the orbits would be much more compelling when explained by electrical and magnetic forces working with gravity.
Ra alludes to something of this nature when he likens gravity to the inward beating of a giant heart, but also mentions the outward beat, of which we have no scientific knowledge of.
