   Astronomers already use Julian days. Go back to Julian day zero, and set   
   your Big Bang zero point exactly, say, 13.7 billion years before that.   
   Doesn’t matter if future measurements cause some adjustments to the actual   
   moment of the Big Bang: this is just meant as an arbitrary reference point   
   anyway, meant to get rid of awkward “B.C.” dates.
