      The book's calculations on how 13 months was broken and rearranged into 12 months is fascinating. I did my own research to verify if this was true and learned in the 1920s, U.S. Congress considered changing the U.S. to a 13 month calendar because there are in fact, 13 months. The book posited interesting theories as to why the calendar was changed to 12 months. One of those theories included superstition over the number "13". If you use the book's calculations we are in the year 2028.
      The creation of the universe by black holes is another intriguing theory in the book. I'd like to see research from the scientific community on this as it makes more sense to me than other theories. This was a short but brilliant read.

    Bibliography

    From the Author

    This book is not about humanity's philosophical relationship with time, but rather a fundamental understanding of how time functions in our society and universe. We must first define what it is, before we can explore why it is. 

    To time infinitum.

    What is time?

    What is time? Time is not merely a succession of events in terms of past, present, or future. In lay terms, and for the purpose of this book, it is a measurement. Time is the byproduct of a universe that is always in motion. Before time, before the Big Bang, nothing existed, until something happened, setting the Universe—and time, in motion. Much of these events are theoretically already known to science. This book is a brief philosophy of time and the construct of time in our universe and daily lives.

    So what exactly is time and does it really exist?

    Short answer—yes, time does exist. Many believe that time is a construct (it can be) or an illusion (it isn’t). The notion that time does not exist is as unsettling as the notion that numbers don’t exist. Numbers are immaterial but can represent material or immaterial phenomena occurring in the universe, whereas time certainly has the latter in its connection to gravity and space-time. While time and numbers are not macroscopic, both abstractions have a firm (or perhaps a metaphysical) place in the universe. It’s not so much what numbers are, as to what they represent. Time and numbers are similar in that, they represent knowledge... information about something, somewhere, in the universe. Both represent a harmonious balance of metaphysical and material
