would you like to see holidays instituted around the:
31st december/1st of january...
31st march/1st of april...
30th june/1st of july...
30th september/1st of october
to my mind, it would be nice to be able to have four exactly equidistant resting points [in the year] to give a logical/secular/rational structure to the experience of the passing of the year,[that incidentally is also synchronised with new year---ie exactly three months after new year we have april 1st holiday----exactly three months after which..we have july 1st holiday----exactly three months after which comes 1st october holiday...then full circle again with jan 1st-three months later.
most people like to divide tasks into halves and quarters, and i see no reason why we couldnt divide the year itself by four quarter points- but that also align with new years day.
i know the equinoxes and solstices are almost the same thing, but theyt are not aligned to our current ist jan new years day.................

We've been over this topic before!
Pope Gregory took 10 days out of the calendar,
in order to align with the astronomical zodiacal signs,
equinoxes & solstices, cycles of the moon, etc.
While seeming logical, your approach has no basis.

and I think there ought to be 100 hours in a day, not that weird 24. Noon would 50 o'clock. Midnight would be 100 o'clock.
and 100 minutes in each hour, not 60.
If you watch the evening news, it would start around 70 o'clock.
god bless
