How Do You Want To Express AllTime?

There are many ways you might wish to express AllTime in your daily life from very precise to simple shorthand.  Here are some models to consider:

Scientifically precise:

13.7

See: Age of the Universe.

This might be the best way to express AllTime on the masthead of a science journal.

Another alternative may be to use circa.

Circa, a Latin word for “around” or “about” is generally used in relation to numbers particularly dates.

Using Circa informs your reader that the date you are using is both realistic and approximate.

The word Circa is a great AllTime tool. It says in a word that sometimes it is more important to be able to express a date even if you only know it approximately than to ignore it. AllTime argues that we should express all of time however imprecise, than to continue to live in a world of only 2004 years.

The date would look like:

Circa 13 B

You may just want to use shorthand:

13.7B

Obviously in correspondences you will want to include the common epoch date along with AllTime:

13.7 AT  2004 AD

AT stands for AllTime, AD stands for anno domini (in the year of the lord) Gregorian.

This could be abbreviated to:

13.7B 2004

Although the two time systems can be conceived as separate stand-alone ideas there is a reason to link them, read the Reversing Time section.  If you choose to link them as we have on our Clock of AllTime you can write out this impressively long number:

13,700,002,004

 or abbreviate it:

13.7B 2004

These are some of the ways to express AllTime.
