It's imperial. Metric time would be measured in factors of 10.

Yeah that's what I thought, but Canada is supposed to be 100% Metric, like other places that aren't the US This is really rattling me

You go down from seconds it's metric, but you go up and it's all babylonian poo poo. What aren't they telling us?

You don't count time in hands or dicks, so it's gotta be metric.

It's not like a new measuring stuck which can be distributed in phases. If you have two regions that operate on different time standards, poo poo's gonna get hosed up much faster than with the metric/standard confusion, which doesn't really come up that often.

I think it's kind've cool that the system of dividing the day up into 24 hours is over 4,000 years old, the calendar we use was created by Julius Caesar, the names of the days are from old Norse/Greek tradition, a huge amount of the words we use are based on old Latin or Germanic words (or even Old Norse), etc etc etc.. We might think of ourselves as 'modern' people but we constantly use things in our daily life which are a direct link back to ancient civilizations.

Yeah, time measurement goes back to at least the neolithic. It's neither imperial nor metric.

There is a metric form of time measurement. France used it for a little while during the Revolution but everyone thought it was poo poo.

The metric system uses seconds which do conform with the metric system. Khorne fucked around with this message at 13:45 on Jan 14, 2016 |

I think if you were being properly metric you would just count the 86,400 seconds in a day and ignore minutes and hours. So for example you work from 32k to 63k. Please dont steal my idea for my sci fi novel

Originally it was going to be just the calendar, but some nerds in the assembly pushed through a bill that also converted France to decimal time. It only lasted like a year before they switched back though, unlike the calendar that lasted all the way until Napoleon's coronation. The clocks made during that year are considered collector items and are worth a buttload.

When the object enters the timestream, time begins to correct itself. Let me use this example: Imagine four balls on the edge of a cliff. Say a direct copy of the ball nearest the cliff is sent to the back of the line of balls and takes the place of the first ball. The formerly first ball becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the fourth falls off the cliff." Time works the same way.

To be perfectly honest, though, imperial is a far more useful system than metric. Millimetres ain't worth poo poo.
