<<The problem deals with time.  One would need to measure the time back
to the Big Bang and use that as day one.  Or two, or 42.  It's all
relative.  I recommend the book A Breif History of Time by Steven
Hawking.  Matter of fact maybe we can get a team together and set up a
teleconference with Dr. Hawking.>>


Why would we need to track back to some putative "Day One"? Calendars are
a purely human invention-the universe doesn't care. Since calendars are
something we create for our own convenience, they can be, and should be,
organized for optimum utility.
