Flying in the year 200 000 From Gregorian to the Space Age Calendar, is based on proposed solutions to the Leap Second Problem submitted to the International Telecommunications Union, in 2012 and 2015.
This tiny time discrepancy provided a way to access and probe the layers of problems below it - so that step by step what emerged was not just attempted solutions to the problem but a paradigm shift and calendar change - to reflect 21st Century scientific understandings, including the scope of the next 3 billion years until the lights go out in our solar system, and beyond.

In other words this book unfolds a calendar that has many solid practical and symbolic advantages. One that is forward looking but also has embedded within it the entire history and future of our universe.

The Space Age Calendar addresses the scale of vision and reality that has widened past the Universal Co-ordinated Time system to breaking point. The leap second problem is only the immediate glitch. Yet in delving into the solutions lay the possibility of moving beyond adherence to some components of the Gregorian time system, the establishment of GMT in 1884 and when the second was redefined for atomic clocks in 1967.

The result is a proposal to manifest an improved international system of time to align with the expanded arches of change that humanity as a whole has built over the course of nearly half a millennium. In fact one that celebrates the 200 000 years of evolution of our species, our beginnings before we were star dust and dreams, not just that we survive each other but even the death of our own sun.
