First Century = AD1 : AD100
Second Century = AD101 : AD200
First Millennium = AD1 : AD1000
Second Millennium = AD1001 : AD2000

The current calendar is shit anyway. Why the fuck are still using the rotation of the Earth to synchronize or clocks with.

We should get rid of timezones. We should all just live in UTC. Ir "Zulu" time.

And get rid of leap days. A year should be 364 days, so a Sunday would be a Sunday every year.

>>8573718
We should time by atomic clocks.

stfu you cuck. Time should be measued in ctime: miliseconds since jan 1 1970

It is the only objective measure of time... that WE ALREADY USE. COMPUTERS USE IT. YOUR MOM USES IT. YOUR CELLPHONE USES. ETC.

Then measuring important times would be great.

Then we could celebrate every 1 billion miliseconds.

Easy as that, cucks.

You mean every 30 billion?

>You mean every 30 billion?

No, I don't like numbers that aren't just a power of 10.

Maybe 1 billion is too low so make it 10 billion or 100 billion. 100 billion would be like around 1000 days and 10 billion would be around 100 days. Your choice.

>>8573770
Exactly. Computers use jan 1 1970 UTC

>for after Christ

>The term anno Domini is Medieval Latin, which means in the year of the Lord[7] but is often translated as in the year of our Lord.[8][9]:782 It is occasionally set out more fully as anno Domini nostri Iesu (or Jesu) Christi ("in the year of Our Lord Jesus Christ").
