Lots of smart people think about time. There's no particular relationship
between the solar day the lunar month and the earth year. our calender is
essentially aribitary except for some convenient hacks that keep
astronomical phenomena is sync with our arbitary calendar. we now have the
ability to tell time using clocks fixed to physical constants, but that
hasn't really informed on the arbitrary calendar yet.
