Hello Markus,Ron and friends: I have never said that the time interval does not change. We shall have 240000 decimal seconds instead of 86400 SI-seconds to the day. In the 1st phase we only change the dials and in the mean time BIPM considers the settling of time interval for scientific work The 'quadrant' continues to have 90-degree and each degree has like the HOUR 1-degree x 100' x100" to tie up the clock face as 100:60ratio. This is where 'stretching' the length unit METRE by about 11.2% shall be needed. And, today when scientist family thinks of Metre defined with 'VELOCITY OF LIGHT' as reference, the problem is not impossible to achieve. The calendar I propose is a socio-economic need and Gregorian calendar is already out of date by 2.5 days, and need adjustment; more so a further correction shall be need at year 3320 (over accounted error). Agaist this, my working for the Leap Week introduction mean, an error over a period of 88645 years. There is a need for serious thinking; since I have spent some time I have a reason to THINK positive.The paper I forwarded to Madam Valerie Antoine was with the intention that it gets its scientific evaluation.
