  1. MILUTIN MILANKOVIC He separated past from the future, his throne was set in the present time,he is walking throughout the future and he is flying over the past monitoring it.

  2. . Milutin Milankovic was born in the village of Dalj in Austria-Hungary(today Croatia),on May 28,1879. He was the eldest of the seven children of a Serbian family of local merchants and landlords. Being of sensitive health, he received his elementary education at home.

  3. Milankovic attended the high school, Realka, in Osijek and finished as the best in the class. The Milankovicfamily wanted to direct Milutin to some high agricultural school because it was necessary to secure someone to manage their spacious land. Instead,Milutin chose civil engineeringin Vienna.

  4. The year 1909 was crucial for MilutinMilankovic. Milankovićwas invited by the Philosophical Faculty of Belgrade University to move to Belgrade and become professorat the Department for Applied Mathematics. He was elected asassociate professor.

  5. When the German occupation authorities in the Second World War asked the Belgrade University professors to sign the Appeal to the Serbian people (and support the occupation of the country), MilutinMilankovicis one of the few professors who refused to do so.

  6. When the Second World War finished, Court of Honor of Belgrade University wrote this conclusion: Priznajemo da se Milankovićistakaokaoodličanstručnjakinaučnikkoji se baviastronomijominebeskommehanikom, ali je "vrlo star i o nekomnjegovomličnomrazvojunemanigovora". Doduše, i on je dobarpedagog, ali "predavanjajedvaotaljava". "Po političkojorijentacijipripadapoznatojmatematičkojkliki... Marksizam-lenjinizamuopšte ne poznajenitipokazujeikakavinteres. Smatramo da je našpolitičkineprijatelji da ćekaotakavumreti. Može se iskoristitikaonastavnikinaučnik" (1. jul 1950).

  7. About his last days,Milankovic wrote: „Teško je pojedincu da pravilno oceni svoje duhovne sposobnosti. I budala sebe smatra pametnim. O sebi mogu kazati, otprilike, ovo. Logika mojih misli i pravilnost njihovih zaključaka još je tu, ali se misli kreću tromije, kao da su im se otrcala krila. Ipak, odblesne u njima po koja orginalna značajna ideja. Milutin Milankovic died on December 12,1958. in Belgrade.

  8. Milankovic is best known for his theory of ice ages, suggesting a relationship between Earth's long-term climate changes and periodic changes in its orbit, now known as Milankovitch cycles.

  9. He made the most accurate calendar ever. The length of the tropical year is 365 days, 5 hours, 48 ​​minutes and 46 seconds and Milankovic has achived accuracy of 365 days, 5 hours, 48 ​​minutes and 48 seconds. Only 2 seconds longer! Milanković is the main „offender" who proved that on Mars can be no civilized life, because his calculations showed that the temeratures are too low. There are 2 craters that are named after Milankovic:one on the far side of Moon and one on Mars called 1605 Milankovic. NASA has chosen Milankovic in the top 10 scientists who have studied the Earth.
