We should go to that metric time that France tired right after the French Revolution. Ten days a week. Thirty-six weeks a year (every other year-37).Originally Posted by Foot
And metric time: ten hours a day, 100 minutes in each hour, 100 seconds a minute. And seconds are 86.4% the length of modern seconds.
I love base 12, it makes so much more sense. You can do half, third, quarter.Originally Posted by Philipvs Vallindervs Calicvla
Half of 12 is 6, half of 6 is 3, stop.
Third of 12 is 4. Still not a prime number.
Quarter of 12 is 3. 3 is still a useful number yet is small - also one of the only odd numbers that seems complete.
vs.
Half of 10 is 5, stop. Can't divide five, prime number.
Third, can't do...
Quarter, can't do...
A fifth of 10 is 2, and that's really just half backwards.
But we should use some sort of absolute. Like base pi. Or base c (speed of light). Or just a system of prime numbers.
