^Last night, I did a thought experiment. I took US Navy data and
  plotted the visibility of the Moon for the entire of 2014. 0=New
  Moon. 1=Full Moon. Now, think about this: Why don't they line up
  perfectly? Time is relative but our clocks and calendars are
  not. We have the technology. We have the data. We already have
  the predictable behavior of a Cesium atom to mark out Time.
  BUT.. when we look up into the sky... the moon is in a different
  spot each month. The Sun is in a different spot in the Sky. The
  stars are in different places. There's no reason in 2014 for
  this to be so.

  I don't expect it to change. I'll solve it (I'm close - it was
  already solved many many times through the thousands of years of
  human timekeeping/calendar-making - I'm just doing about it in a
  different way) - but convincing the world - or anybody isn't
  really my need. I just want to understand it all, to at least
  know my temporal 'place' in the Universe to my own
  satisfaction.^
