Time is a pain in the ass and unfortunately not this simple, since it’s affected by energy and doesn’t pass at constant rates. The amount of time that’s passed since the Big Bang is different on earth than it is on a neutron star, for example, so one fundamental reference time isn’t possible the way it is for other units.
Listen. Let’s just do it simple. Everyone sync their clocks with mine right now. It says it’s 10:57 at the moment, but we’ll just subtract that in the future going forward. Ready? 3, 2, 1, Go! Now we know where 0 is, whew. Problem solved, scientists!

Edit: wait, now it says 10:58…
