@Confidant6198 speaking about time... How should we measure it?

Currently it is 60/60/[12,24]/7/[28,29,30,31].

Plus Timezones, plus Leap seconds + days.

Just convert to decimal time. Easy! Though you'll have to find a different solution for days/months/timezones/leap days. https://www.decimal-time.com/

@Jentu thank you for that hint!

Didn't know it was proposed with the other decimal units but not adepted by the people....
