Time is something that throughout all of history humans have attempted to count time and break it down into a system that is easily followed and can track the moving days and months with the years.  However, this is not something that is followed universally. In today's podcast we discuss the history of our current calendar, the Gregorian calendar , it’s origin as the Julian Calendar to the prehistoric calendar keeping systems of the Egyptians, Mayans, the orthodox religions and Chinese New Year.  We also talk about perceptions of time and the existential crisis that is felt because of the linear nature of time , but some places time is cyclical. We end the New Years’  special by recapping our year and talk about the positives and downfalls of the year, and what we are looking forward to in the new year.

If you make it this far, please comment saying “Nice Midlife Crisis”
