To me it appears that Empror was not advised the need to 'relate merger of Time Units with those of Arc-Angle i.e. the Hour-Angle'; like I did in my base paper The Metric Second (1973) linked to my contribution Metric Norms for Time Standard (1971).

I recall, one of Karl's mail asking me if 896-year cycle had 159 Leap Weeks, to which I did respond "YES" that it was slightly longer than 159 Weeks (327257.0019441238 days). Placeing and distribution as DIVIDE SIX were also published then though Indian Standards - I think in Standards Engineer!"Thus, it was in 1973 that I built the concept of MERGING Time units with Angular measure as:90*x60' x60" ::100 metric degree x100' x100" (in the Quadrant) to define The Nautical Kilometre on Earth! This has now been EXTENDED to my calendar format: http://www.brijvij.com/bb_fbUNday-week.pdfas 90-degree quardant x 60' x60" :: 90-degree quadrant x100 md x100sd *in order to define a replacement to Nautical Mile with that of Nautical Kilometre, using decimalised Time of the HOUR in relation to (Pi/180 i.e. one degree). Also see: Indian Claims He Has Succeeded in Decimalising Time Scale: Patriot, New Delhi; 1996 March 21 In response to Irv's sub-distribution of the second into 1080 parts, I presented that THIS WAS THE SAME as liked to 5*216 =1080; and that 240000 x216 :: 86400 : 600 having links with ancient India's time-subunits! To me it appears that 240000 decimal seconds day/night was more practical AND condusive to current move on Reform of the Gregorian calendar in use for International use by ALL nations. Thus, any distribution of 24-Hour day can be linked to similar sub-division of the Day, if and only if, these are inter-related to Time & circular arc-units, as discussed with the TWO-listservs.Regards to all experts, Brij Bhushan Vij Monday, 2013 February 04H16:96(decimal)EST Aa Nau Bhadra Kritvo Yantu Vishwatah -Rg Veda The Astronomical Poem (revised number of days in any month) "30 days has July,September, April, June, November and December all the rest have 31 except February which has 29 except on years divisible evenly by 4; except when YEAR divisible by 128 and 3200 - as long as you remember that "October (meaning 8) is the 10th month; and December (meaning 10) is the 12th BUT has 30 days & ONE OUTSIDE of calendar-format" Jan:31; Feb:29; Mar:31; Apr:30; May:31; Jun:30 Jul:30; Aug:31; Sep:30; Oct:31; Nov:30; Dec:30 (365th day of Year is World Day) ******As per Kali V-GRhymeCalendaar***** "Koi bhi cheshtha vayarth nahin hoti, purshaarth karne mein hai" My Profile - http://www.brijvij.com/bbv_2col-vipBrief.pdf Author had NO interaction with The World Calendar Association except via Media & Organisations to who I contributed for A Possible World Calendar, since 1971.

Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2013 09:01:20 +0000 Or a pleasant sight. But I agree. The plain fact is, something that the US will NEVER be able to change, however much it wants to, is that 95% of the world’s population uses solely metric units in government, industry, commerce, the professions and in day-today life. Either the US faces up to that indisputable fact, or it continues to spiral down. It then has a stark choice if it wants to regain its power and status – use its formidable military might to take on the entire world in armed combat, or step back and decide that it will need to conform with the rest of the world if it still wants to do business and remain a world leading power.

I haven't seen a Time magazine in ages. I was informed via this listserver some time ago that the Time Magazine used metric in its science articles. Maybe they did, but as you noticed, they no longer do. This has a lot to do with the personal preference of those who run the magazine. There must have been a regime change and someone pro-metric was replaced by someone anti-metric. Things like this do happen. Let them mock the metric system all they want. It will not give them the joy they seek. There are two new powers on the rise in the world, Germany via the EU in the west and China in the east. They are both doing everything in their power to bring the US down, from the inside. Divide and Conquer, but totally by cultural and economic means. They know that a nation divided against itself will fall and they are doing everything in their power make it happen quickly. Germany's repatriation of its gold from the US, the UK & France is the catalyst. The US is caught in a whirlwind of conflict on almost every issue, the most potent the fight over the right to bear arms. I can just imagine how all those weapons in private hands will be used when the US dollar collapses. Can you imagine the reaction in the government circles in China and Germany when every gun owning citizen turns those weapons on each other over a scrap of bread? It won't be a pleasant site.

I'd love to agree, but as a subscriber to Time magazine, I've noticed a steady decrease in the metric content of the magazine, with the most recent issues being completely devoid of any parenthetical metric that I was accustomed to. Scientific articles, ironically enough, have usually been non-metric, which to say the least is pathetic.

I would find it hard to believe that Time magazine would mock any push to metricate as it reports articles of scientific nature using metric units, at least as far as I know it still does. It did so in the recent past. That would make time hypocritical. I'm curious though, has the White House been officially presented with the metric petition? What has been their response? If it hasn't, will it ever be? There are now just under 38 000. Maybe if it could get 100 000, it might get someone's attention. [USMA:52308] Metric Petition mentioned in this week's Time magazine. Remek Kocz Sun, 03 Feb 2013 14:32:21 -0800 This news falls most likely into the "bad news" category, but our metric system petition to the White House made the Time magazine. I'm looking at the print edition right now and it is listed in a ticker at the foot of the page among other petitions, most of which fall shy of being ridiculous. I have not yet read the accompanying article, but below is the link to the online version, which does not include to ticker.http://swampland.time.com/2013/01/31/we-the-people/?iid=sl-main-belt No virus found in this message.
