Good-by,2000 Christian Year
At around the time between the end of last year and the beginning of this year, computer's year 2000 problem started a fuss over the issue of the end of 20th century all over the world. As far as calendars concerned, although year 2000 sounds roundly, after all, Christians and their culture govern the nowday's man's world accidentally, and as know, there is no deep meaning in natural science. There are about 6000 languages, about 100,000 religions, and deeply affiliated some thousands of calendars. It is natural that they all insist on their own justice. Now, the author thinks if he could create a really authentic world calendar for all the people in the world to consent.
Don't you think it strange that most of the scientists seem to use this Christian calendar without any opposition and to have no doubt about it. As for the author himself, he had not have any doubt in Christian calendar for natural science and Japanese calendar for administrative use. But, as people were too excited about the year 2000 problem, it lit his perversity, and the glare of doubt blazed up.
About weight, length and time, common units, which have not used in any country or which have been used commonly, are picked up internationally. (CGS, or MKS system)
The equality is shown at conferences or in scientific magazines except one problem of using English for established scientific name (Latin) in some occasions.
If you think about it deeply, you come to find it very strange that if there was an international talk about which calendar to choose (Christian, Isram or Japanese etc.), and that, in this scientific world, this unfair standard (Christian Year) is used like a claptrap, publicly. Now, the author thought of a world scientific calendar as follows. The author hopes scientists of the world see this manuscript, approve it and say that internationally equal calendar is created.
It is apparent that nobody oppose to the fact that one year is a basic unit of months and days. It is the period of time for the earth to go round the sun. This is accidentally because the rotation axis of the earth is tilted by 23.5 degrees against the revolution axis. It causes to make varieties of four seasons and lets us know one year cycle. If it were not for this tilt, there might not be one year cycle.
Putting one year cycle or even lunar system calendar or solar system calendar aside ( actually, using solar system calendar), the biggest problem is when to start the first year (beginning year). The most of the substantial differences among the powerful calendars now in use lie in this point. Somebody was born in that specific day or came down from the heaven, then? You can say anything you like. But it seems to have nothing to do with science. So, I list some standards which you can call it scientific.
