I propose that Orbis adopt the Hanke-Henry Calander

 

and start living on Decimal/Metric time

 

Stop living in the damn stoneage Orbis!!!

um, no. I like metric measurements and all, but the clock has gotta keep it's 24 hour movement

[Odin]

I support every metric measurement.

Maybe add an options button like in some forums for it?

The calendar itself is permanent, it does not change year to year, with the exception of the need to add a week at the end of every 5 or 6 years.

Why are you so locked into a 24hr day,the number is completely arbitrary?

[Jefferson Davis III]

because, the main problems, is the development of numerical issues with time measurement. Time is unlike any other form of measurement. such as distance, 1 meter is 1 meter everywhere in the universe. 1 Kilo is always 1 kilo ( however, no such thing as an exact kilo can be made on earth as various reactions with physical contact do disrupt the mass of the object in minute amounts.) But time does not actually exist and time measurement is only a system to help humans coordinate. Time is the measurement of events, as why humanity has always attributed days as a form of measurement because humans see each day as a single measurement, it was not until the invention of seconds and minutes that time became it's own system. And an Italian astronomer Galileo, calculated that based on the rotation of the earth, it takes exactly 23 periods of 60 minutes (the hour) plus an additional 45 minutes to rotate 360 degrees, and today we have modern intruments and to find out that he was actually only off by a few seconds, not bad for the 1300s, but he realized that that the earth was revolving around the sun and thus it takes longer than his original calculation to account for the lateral distance traveled. What this means, if we used the exact calculations, 12 pm in july would be bright and sunny and the middle of the day, but 12 pm in december would be the middle of the night, and galileo figured that it would take an approximate 15 additional minutes for the sun to appear to be in the same location in the sky as it was in the day before, this created the 24 hour day, and he added the 15 minutes to make his time system practical to all. and the problem with metric time, is that to make it practical, you have change certain time variants, and hanke henry's metric time uses seconds that are the same amount of time as standard 24 hour time, and this creates a problem, because if you devide the day in terms of 10, 100, and 1,000; you have to change the length of the second, and so far, no metric system exists with that change. therefore, it is not practical for day to day usage of the metric time scale. this is why metric length and weigh measurements succeeded because they did not use any common measuremnt of standard, and this allowed for the system to become practical. but also, the time that one day takes to pass, for all practical purposes, is completely unchangeable, and human biological systems are fixed to the 1 day scale, so even living space or living underground, most humans still couldn't do it because their biological clocks are synced to the sun through thousands of years of evolution. I am a fan of practicality, and metric time is not a practical system compared to metric length and weight measurement systems. 

 

summery, Metric time divides 1 day into lengths of 10, and those lengths have segments of 10, but those segments are made up of normal seconds, which creates a huge problem, because one metric minute is 166.6666- seconds, I.e. not a time frame that is practical. which is why every nation still uses the 24 hour time scale, because to date, it is the only practical scale of one day that everyone can use and agree on, and as most nations use the roman calender, which divides the year up into 365 1/4 days because that is how long it takes the earth to orbit the sun, and again, that is a completely unchangeable number. come up with that calender.

 

That is why I still support the 24 hour time scale.

Sorry,metric time equivalent of seconds is the chron which is equal to 800ms

 

Your argument is invalid. 

[WISD0MTREE]

That BG on the calendar site gives me a headache. Why switch to some random dude's callender? 

 

And "More interesting clocks on SillyClocks" 

nope.avi

[Jefferson Davis III]

ok then, if the chron is the equivalent of 800 miliseconds, give me a full scale time grade for a single earth rotation and translation into standard time.
