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.

Just another idiot on the bus...
