A Calendar for the Information Age

[chimeraha]

Hi I'm trying to get some feedback for this new terran computational calendar that I've implemented:

• It utitlizes zero-based numbering
• Contains 13 identical months of 28 days each
• Contains an additional short Month Zero containing only new year's day and a single leap year day every four years (with the exception of every 128 years)
• Synchronized with the northern winter solstice
• Starts 10 days before the UNIX Epoch

"Its "terran" inception and unit durations reflect the human biological clock and align with astronomical cycles and epochs. Its "computational" notation, start date, and algorithm are tailored towards the mathematicians & scientists tasked with calendrical programming and precise time calculation."

 

There's a lot more information at terrancalendar.com including a conversion form and a handfull of code-snipits & apps for implementing the terran computational calendar.

 

What do you guys think? I wanted to make something that was neutral and had a simple algorithm.

I recently rediefined the terran computational calendar. Leap days and leap seconds are now put at the end of the year in a 'content mirror)
