Calendars

Time as we know it and define it is, in my opinion, subjective. I believe that I have mentioned this before. I think that carrying calendars show this.

The example from class was the Chinese calendar in comparison with ours. Other than this, there have been other calendars in the past. We used to have New Year's on a different day than we do now. Calendars are a human invention. This I feel means that it has error, and can not be truly, perfectly representative of true time. I know this sounds kind of crazy, but it is what I believe.

Time itself is not human construction, but time the way we know it is human construction, and is very subjective.
