Many calendars are available. 11/11/1111 has already occurred many times (although usually not with 1-second precision) and will occur many times again, especially as (trans)humanity metastasizes to infect the galaxy. Our current common date-time system is a social construct -- it's only meaningful because we accept it. We could mark the beginning of human time as some arbitrary point long ago, and await the coming of 11/11/1,111,111 11:11:11.1111, something like that. Which might be next week.
