In the early days before we came up with the "space and time are separate" concept, we actually did take time dilation into account. All users made their own calendars to account for it, but it ultimately proved extremely tedious when doing crossovers. That's why we started using the Gregorian calendar as a base.

We've since abandoned the handwaved space-time concept in favor of having time dilation once more, but it's just been treated like an elephant in the room. That is, we don't know what to do about it, and hopefully, it can be resolved here.

I like the half-life isotope idea as well as the UTX system. It seems to be a good way to keep track of time throughout all of Omni 01, though I still think having the Gregorian calendar as an option would be more welcoming to deal with - having the years at the very least.

Lastly, for a year zero, we may as well settle with the current estimate of the age of the universe. Years from now, it will be too tedious to change it to keep up with new estimates that also keep changing.
