Shame on them

Hahahahaha.

For me the Gregorian calender is outdated. It's from a time when people just understood whole numbers and had no term for zero. Zero was too abstract to understand it as a number without value. In Math was the same. Just when the Arabic number system reached the whole world, there also was a 0 to build the metric number system. They just don't change it, because all are too used to not thinking 0 as a number for day counting systems. But we already integrated that into the count of years, like e.g. the year 2000. It would be too disturbing for many people, if Christmas wasn't on December 24th, 25th and 26th. That would cross their mind. Imagine Christmas would be on December 23rd, 24th and 25th. Many month would have 29 days, there would be no month with 31 days. That blows everyones mind, just because of being used to. But on the other hand, the dates would be mathematical more correct. There is an potential infinite ammount of numbers between -1 and 0, same between 0 and 1. Its just the decimal point that sets the correctness. 0 is the dividing point between - and + 00:00 o'clock Is the angular point between the one and the other day. At that exact point there even is no am or pm, it's neutral. Same could theoretically be done for month and days in month, month in years and years in decades. Inbetween they do it for the years. That's ok by me, because it's more logical than the mathematical outdated Gregorian calendar. They just don't do, because they don't want. That would be too much too think new and get used to. Anyway it's the mass of humans that decide, how to define it. And at the moment very many people think that the mathematical solution for counting years, decades and centuries is better when the beginning is countet as 0, e.g. 2000 a.d. That's because the metric system is the best for measuring. It's more easy to count. Just the 12 month with an average will stay. Not only because of the counting, but also because of the earth's run around the sun, which needs 365 + 1/4 day each year and because of nautically issues ... things like these.

Following the Gregorian logic, January 1st would only be January 1st when counted to the last second that completes it. But we count January first from the moment when Sunday 31 is completed at 12:00 pm plus the next second.
