The Worldwide System

Global age

We now know the age of this planet, so we do not need to base our chronology on an arbitrary year such as the birth of a prophet or messiah. However, it is convenient to align our new chronology with Anno Domini because most people in our world now use this way of counting years. Secular states already use the terms: Before or After the Common Era. Since we now know that civilisation began some 12,000 years ago
and that this planet slowly formed some 4.55 billion years ago,
2000 ACE can be renumbered as: 4,550,012,000 WT or 000 WT for short,. WT began at a full-moon on the vernal equinox in 2000 ACE.
It coincided with the rare grouping of all five visible planets,
the dawn of the zodiac age of Aquarius, and the dusk of the age of Pisces.
So it was a major astronomical and astrological marker in Time.

Digital date

Every civilisation had its own calendar with different months and weeks.
The perpetual digital date calendar simply numbers the days in the year beginning with 000 and ending with 364 or 365 in customary leap years. These numbers drop into groups of ten, forming a discontinuous ten-day
week instead of the continuous seven-day week now used worldwide.
The origins of the seven-day week are obscure but it probably came from
the Sabians of Harran in Mesopotamia, who worshipped seven sky-gods linked with seven heavenly bodies at seven sacred temples in rotation. The creation in seven days and the commandment to use seven-day weeks with only one day for rest, recreation and religion are unsubstantiated. Holy days became holidays and the holy Sabbath became the weekend.
This may grow into three unproductive days if politicians have their way. With ten-day weeks every organisation would work 360 days every year. However, every worker would only need to work for 180 days every year.
