It's always bugged me there's no "metric time". 1 metric minute = 100 seconds = 1.667 Babylonian minutes 1 metric hour = 100 metric minutes = 166.7 Babylonian

It's always bugged me there's no "metric time".
1 metric minute = 100 seconds = 1.667 Babylonian minutes
1 metric hour = 100 metric minutes = 166.7 Babylonian minutes = 2.78 Babylonian hours.
1 day = 8.61 metric hours = 1436 Babylonian minutes = 23.93 Babylonian hours.
Thoughts?
- todd8 9y agoI've always thought that if we are redefining time units a better solution might be 100000 metric seconds in a day (making them a bit shorter than the existing 86400 in a day) and otherwise the same relationships you've suggested: 1 metric minute = 100 metric seconds 1 metric hour = 100 metric minutes 1 day = 10 metric hours.
