Is not a calendar, it's the US civilian time standard, which currently
keeps time to within 1 second in about 100 million years. Its accuracy has
been superceded by a newer, smaller aluminum ion clock that is said to not
gain or lose one second in 3.7 billion years.

An even more accurate clock is being built that is based on stellar time.
