Send us Fan MailIs Our Current Calendar Wrong? — On a Dash of InfoWe check the date every day—but what if the calendar itself is flawed?From ancient Egyptian star-watching and Babylonian moon cycles to Julius Caesar’s reforms and the Gregorian calendar we use today, humanity has been tweaking timekeeping for thousands of years.
