Time current from currently known norms & values would have looked 'topsy turvy' and socio-economic norms 'could have gone hay way. May be computing savy friends 'enjoyed the chaos' that calendar bug created would NEVER had happened! Pope Gregory must have tried to get up from his grave, attempting to resolve the calendar question. I am only trying to fix up some 'black holes' that I thought were needing attention - like bridging the *TIME and arc-angle gap* left delibrately or otherwise.

I have taken the liberty to modify 'your line'. I could not resist since I habeen contributing to such thoughts since almost 40 years! Again, Why and for what hope the 'originators of Move to Metric' bargain to retain and keep public confused' differentiating between METRIC and using DECIMALS for day to day life. A deeper thought shall be seen if you visited my Home Page: http://www.brijvij.com/ and examined the need for Time/Calendars also to change for 'good'.
