Metric time Yes! Bring on the deciday instead of the hour; the centiday instead of the minute. Get rid of this 3600 stuff?
Hmmmm. Maybe it should be the microyear instead. If only we had eight fingers instead of ten, we would have saved so much effort developing computers. Mike - AA8K Lux, Jim (337C) wrote:
And hey, the meter is just 1/10,000,000 of the distance from equator to pole, since it was invented during the craze of decimalization that afflicted the French during the revolution... Here on Time-Nuts, shouldn't we be advocating for the rationalized decimal system of time: 10 hours per day, 100 minutes/hr, 100 seconds/minute. Or, gods forbid, we could use Swatch time.. 1000 beats to the day. (or is it ".beat", Swatch was going to launch a satellite into orbit that broadcast "internet time" in beats (or .beats).. Fortunately, MIR was abandoned before this could be a reality.
