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.
