Lots of smart people think about time. There's no particular relationship between the solar day the lunar month and the earth year. our calender is essentially aribitary except for some convenient hacks that keep astronomical phenomena is sync with our arbitary calendar. we now have the ability to tell time using clocks fixed to physical constants, but that hasn't really informed on the arbitrary calendar yet.
