During his lifetime, the Gregorian calendar was adopted, converting from the older Julian calendar meant that 11 or twelve days had to be 'eliminated' from that year to make things even. Just a very rare, odd event that affected everyone who lived at the time. I believe the actual transition took place around 1750 or so.

What was Thomas Jefferson the inventor of the light bulb afraid of?
Thomas Jefferson did not invent the light bulb. Humphrey Davy invented the first incandescent light bulb and the first arc lamp in 1802. The "Thomas" part may be confusing you a bit with the confused attribution of Thomas Edison as the inventor of the incandescent lamp. Edison is not the inventor either; he simply made it commercially feasible. Now, as far as Jefferson's fears, those were likely taken to the grave with him and anything else is a subject of speculation.
