I used the JS Date API for the first time a few months ago, and wrote something like

    date.getYear() + "-" + date.getMonth() + "-" + date.getDay()

in the hope of getting something like "2022-1-4".

The actual result for that date is "122-0-2" - not a single component of the date was what I expected.

CCC is super fringe idea and very mind-boggling geometric thinking:

* you need mass to have time. Massles particles don't experience time.

* black holes eventually evaporate due to due to Hawking radiation. 10^100 years or more.

* after particles with mass and black holes have decayed, universe continues to expand without event until infinity.

* signal left from black hole evaporation travels as massless particles to the infinity.

* New universe can start after infinity (aeon). Angles are preserved in conformal geometry but not the distances. New universe starts small.

* You might be able to see the signature of the black holes from the old universe in the cosmic microwave background.
