has gone through a small revolution in function and form. Now the Internet Time shown at the site is based on your computer's internal clock, adjusted for Biel Mean Time (BMT), or Central European Standard Time (UTC + 1 Hour), and this is calculated via an independent script.
The Internet Time at the site will only be as accurate as the clock in your computer. To adjust the time on your own computer within a second of the true time, please visit this site with your MSIE browser (Netscape unfortunately doesn't work):
The Fifth World Official Date & Time site now produces the Cesidian Calendar Date, and Internet Time, all on the same line, and in abbreviated form. The web page is also refreshed 4 times every Internet Time .Beat (84.6 seconds), so this allows allows for a reasonable update, especially with regards to the time.
The first letter on the
line, followed by the colon, is the Day of the Cesidian Week:
J: S: U: N: P: M: V: ™:
Day of the Week
Abbreviation
Notes
Jeuday †
Pronounced "Jew-day", from the French jeudi + the
English day. The French jeudi in turn comes from
the Latin Jovis Dies, meaning "Jupiter's Day". Also known as
"Messiah Day", it is the Cesidian Sabbath. In 2006 the Cesidian Sabbath
will fall on Gregorian Sundays.
Saturnday ‡
Day of Saturn (first day of work)
Uranday
Day of Uranus (day devoted to projects, inventions, high
technology)
Neptunday ‼
Day of Neptune (day devoted to dreaming, prayer,
contemplation)
Plutoday
Day of Pluto (day of sex or sharing, and day for honouring
the dead)
Mercuday
Day of Mercury (day devoted to letter, article, or essay
writing, to communications in general)
Venusday
Day of Venus (day devoted to beauty, harmony, love,
affection, hedonism)
Earthday/Marsday
Irregular days: Earthday is the last day of the year, and
Marsday is a Leap Year Day. Day of Earth, and Day of Mars. The first
has the same symbolism as the popular environmental "Earthday", and the
second is something like a "Veterans' Day" and "Memorial Day" put
together.
† Originally was "Juday", coming from the English
Jupiter + day. It was changed to Jeuday on April 20, 2006 (P:06E2006),
which comes from the French jeudi + the English day, on the suggestion
of linguist Adalbert Kowal. He made the interesting observation that
the French form for "Jupiter's Day" was better, since it alludes to the
Ludi Romani, a religious festival in ancient Rome held to the honour of
Jupiter, whose temple was dedicated on 13 September 509 BC. The French
form of the word not only is a derivative of the Latin Jovis Dies
("Jupiter's Day"), but also alludes to the fact that "Jupiter's day" in
Rome, jeudi in French, was a big dies ludi, a day when a great variety
of state-funded entertainments that were available for all. This was
clearly more suggestive of the Sabbath function of this day in the
Cesidian calendar, and so the change to the French form of the word
seemed more apt.
‡ Originally was "Saturday", but was changed to Saturnday on April 16,
2006 (J:02E2006) to differentiate it from the Gregorian day which also
stands for the Sabbath of the Jews and several Christian sects. The
Italian "sabato" and the Interlingua "sabbato" were also changed to
differentiate the Cesidian second day of the week from the Jewish
Sabbath ("Seventh Day" in Hebrew).
‼ Originally was "Neptuday", but was changed to Neptunday on July 13,
2005 (P:12H2005), thanks to an intelligent multilingual suggestion by
Alberto Mardegan.
Then comes the Cesidian Day of the Month, and the letter representing One of the 14 Cesidian Calendar months:

The Cesidian Month is obviously followed by the Year, and this is followed by a Number in this format:
@954
representing the Swatch .Beat, or the one-thousandth of a day using Biel Mean Time (BMT) as a time standard (same time as Rome, Paris, Geneva, or Berlin during the Winter).
Let us use a real-life example of Cesidian Calendar Date and Internet Time:
N:21F2003@956
This stands for the day of Neptunday, 21 Fleming
2003, 956 .Beats (the day is almost over). Here is the total

† Originally was "Juday", "giovedì", and
"jovedi" in English, Italian, and Interlingua respectively, but was
changed to Jeuday, giudì, and jeudi on April 20, 2006
(P:06E2006) to the French form of the Jovis Dies ("Jupiter's Day") on
the suggestion of linguist Adalbert Kowal, since this the French jeudi
also alludes to "Jupiter's Day" being a dies ludi during Roman times, a
day when a great variety of state-funded entertainments that were
available for all. This was clearly more suggestive of the Sabbath
function of this day in the Cesidian calendar, and so the change to the
French form of the word seemed more apt. The English Jeuday and the
Italian giudì are respectively Anglicised and Italianised forms
of the French jeudi, while the Interlingua form jeudi, is straight from
the French.
The Fifth World Official Date & Time standard is thus bicultural, and both macro- and micronational. It is essentially a Swiss-Cesidian standard, which is not the same as saying "Italian-American," but more like saying "Roman-Catholic!"
