About Time concepts
Physical Time
Time is a fundamental notion; it is connected to all existence, the life itself and its special biological realisation.
It manifests in Nature with sunrise and sunset, the lunar circle and the seasons, as well as in the human soul. It is “running” and it “stopping” giving pleasure or… displeasure…
Everything lives in it. Human thought involves the notion of Time, because Time must pass for a thought to be actualised. The same is true for the subjective sense and conception of Time. The important function of memory for the consitution of the human soul has as conceptual presupposition the flux of Time…
The moon phases
The bright lunar side appears to change continuously, because of the sunlight reflection, according to the lunar position in relation to Earth and Sun. The changes of its apparent shape are called moon phases.
The time between identical moon phases is called synodic month and its duration is 29,530589 days. The noun month has as etymological origin the indoeuropean root: mēns- (–>moon),(1) the moon-sickle of the first and last days of the lunar circle.
The Sun and the Moon are in synod (conjuction) during the New Moon, while they have opposites positions during Full Moon.

About a “world” calendar
What is a Calendar?
Every system of calculation which divides time into days, months, years in accordance to the constant, periodic phenomena of the Earth spin round its axis, the Earth revolution round the Sun and the Moon revolution round the Earth, to achieve an organization in public and religious life and to serve different scientific and historical needs. There are lunar/solar/ancient greek/ chinese/ arabic calendars.
Therefore, every calendar is an instrument which classifies past or future events. But, first and foremost, it is a study of the sky(ουρανός->ouranio). The solar, earth and lunar motions are eternal, fixed reference points for the earthly time sense.

The annual cycle
depicts the concept of cyclic, eternal Time without start and beginning (cf. About Time concepts) and the lunar-solar positions in Space and Time.
The most ancient cosmic worldview (–link- cf. Ancient Cyclic Calendars) is transformed through current techonology to a modern, internet reality.
The solar and lunar positions, which regulate by definition the earthly calendar, are illustrated in their mutual relation for every day on the Annual Cycle. The names of the months are placed initially, according to our conception (ouranio home page). Summer light and warmth belong to the upper part – winter darkness and cold to the lower part. The clockwise direction is identified with the usual one of the clocks.
