Steve H. Hanke, a Professor of Applied Economics at John Hopkins University, and Richard Conn Henry, a Professor of Physics and Astronomy at John Hopkins University, have developed a permanent annual calendar and propose that the world adopt Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as the only measurement of time.

Henry worked on a calendar that would not change from year to year. In 2007, he showed his calendar to Hanke. He wanted Hanke's insights about what economic benefits the calendar could have.

Henry and Hanke had several meeting with their colleagues and some graduate students. After some time, they were able to finalize their plan for the permanent calendar.

With the Hanke-Henry Permanent Calendar in place, important dates fall on the same day every year. An example is Independence Day in the U.S. Independence day has always been celebrated on July 4. With the new calendar, July 4 would always be on a Wednesday.

The Hanke-Henry Permanent Calendar consists of two months of 30 days followed by one month of 31 days. The result is every quarter of the year contains 91 days. The only change that would need to be made to the calendar is the addition of a week every five or six years. This would keep the months in line with the seasons. This extra week would be added at the end of December.

"Think of it as an adult spring break," said Hanke.
