Time is a human abstraction. It is used as an instrument for organizing activity, it provides for the determination of longitude, and it allows us to navigate in earth-centric, or other, coordinate systems. It allows us to save daylight … or not. Einstein said, “Time is relative. Its only worth is what we do as it is passing”.
There isn’t even one universal time. There’s UT0, UT1, UT2, UTC (which coordinates well ) and others. There’s terrestrial time, GPS time, and, of course, there’s International Atomic Time which (and you will enjoy this) the French call TAI. I can go on.
So time has great purpose but isn’t necessarily reasonable. Because of this I will count September from day 1 through day 35 and label the first day of October as 6. I mean, why not? :)
Which is the reasonable calendar system you will be using for September?
