Years ago I heard a theory that all ideas occur simultaneously throughout the population at certain times

To the new more accurate 13 moon calender.
This is because most people today aren't smart enough to grasp the scientific formulas and computation when dealing with time.

Very true.... This is because most people today aren't smart enough to grasp the scientific formulas and computation when dealing with time. Either that or they are just plain lazy to care enough about the subject.
I have been reading one particular website which is very intreiging. It deals with changing the calender from the ever so popular gregorian 12 monther. To the new more accurate 13 moon calender. Which measures time by each orbit of the moon. It is very interesting stuff as 13 months and 28 days is perfectly symmetrical. Think of it like this. Instead of having a birthday on a different day each year (monday, then tuesday next year, etc) You will have it on the same day. This is because every month has the same number of days (28) And the months are all the same.
I suggest everyone who is interested in what time actually is check this site out. I have to warn you that it is very complex and once you step through you will never turn back.
The Law of Time and The 13 Month Moon Calander
Now, as T_Jesus has informed us we are in the early 1900's when it comes to time I am going to throw a Clock out of my window and try to find out how times flies.
Cost? It really wouldn't cost anything as the only thing people would have to do is get rid of their calanders and put up a 13 month calander instead of a 12 month.

The Lunar Calendar is more accurate if all you're looking at are Earth Days and nothing else. Even with this "Day out of Time" there is still an unaccounted deviation from our solar orbit requring more corrections again down the line. This is why our solar calendar has leap years.. it still isn't perfect, but atleast it lets us go several thousand years before having to adjust it to get it back in sync. The problem with the Lunar Calendar is that it can't be broken up or segmented easily.. it's all odd numbers (13). It makes processes and calculations more complicated, which is one of the reasons we settled on our 12 month solar calendar. With the Solar calendar you can also shorten seasonal definitions to 3 months blocks without much difference in predictions (ideal for farming). Can't do that with Lunar. It makes things more complicated, thus wasteful. Seriously this is the calendar that was used when people thought the Earth was flat and at the center of the universe. Lunar would be perfect in this case, but since we revolve around the Sun, we need a calendar that defines our current position in solar orbit (seasons).
Btw... the UN is a joke that is begging to be dissolved.

Lunar only works if you're only concerned with days.
You cannot cleanly break a Lunar calendar into Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.
To translate that, you cannot cleanly break a Lunar calendar into quarters, which is why it makes computations more complicated. If you try you end up with "Well for our First Yearly Quarterish Segment ending Moon 3 day 7..."
Yeah that would go over well on Wall Street.
Even with this "day out of time", and even with a leap year, there is still an unaccounted for deviation from our solar orbit. It would be about the same as our current Solar calendar, so there would be no advantage.
It is useless in a Solar based world.
Again I should also point out how impossible it would be to make such a conversion... you're talking about rewriting every record keeping, financial, and communications system ever made, everywhere that uses Solar. Sorry not gonna happen.
Right about one thing tho, Time is what we make of it.
